But companies and people wanting to make a name for themselves have no real choice but to use Twitter these days. Depending on how it's used, Twitter can create a more personal relationship between a company and possible customers, or a person and their fans. It's either Tweet, or be left in the dust.

I was the only person on Twitter. I found an internship through Twitter, I've met new people, and I've learned a ton. Students stick to Facebook because that's where they've been for years. It's comfortable, they know how to control it. If you find any students who need convincing, send them my way! I was in class the other day with about 24 other students.

Similar results of the poll. Different reason why, though. These are photographers trying to get work in a world where there are more cameras than there are people. I tell people Twitter is pure Google Juice. Say it on Twitter with a good number of followers and read about it on Google within hours. Talk about your blog post or someone else's on Twitter and watch the visitor stats go through the roof. I tell them that it is one of the few nets that will be tossed into more pools than they can find on their own, meaning that what they say can, and most likely will be if it's crafted correctly, spread out to others' lists of followers without any effort on their part. Some day the shelf life of Twitter content will probably be measured in centuries. <br><br>Social media is about leveraging technology to get found. I've taught that class to groups of older sole practitioners, college students, ad agencies (for God's sake!), and professionals sharpening their self-promotion skills and darn close to 100% of them do not see it for that. <br><br>We should get a road show going, Mike!
