Seeing the ripples flow out from a single "tweet" (single twitter message) is pretty incredible. (Sidenote: It helps that many of the "traditional" analysts are stuck in the old communication metaphors :) My theory is... use ALL available means, leveraging the disruption while still wielding the proven methods.) Ciao, Dan Steve – The rise of blogs, podcasts (thanks again for the interview), microblogging (twitter, mostly), and networks like LinkedIn or Facebook are HUGE magnifiers for small and large businesses alike.

Jose makes a good point (and I haven't met him "in real life" but we've been connected on Twitter for about a year) - the two-way communication, and "real short" is quite a winning combination. I'd be willing to bet that being connected with people on Twitter will make your keynotes and audience interaction EVEN MORE engaging than they already are. I found it really incredible to step off the stage from the Enterprise 2.0 conference keynote this year and instantly recognize people who'd been streaming past my screen on a regular basis. Makes the in-person discussions that much more satisfying. Would love to hear what you and your readers/clients find as the Twitter experiment continues. BTW - I'm still not quite sure what it means, but I made it on the Top 50 Twittering Analysts list this year. I think that's a good thing - but it could be that I'm (ahem) Twittering my life away. ;) But seriously, Twitter is a fantastic research tool (for analysts, speakers, marketers, product managers, etc.) - and with a larger and larger audience using the service, makes it that much easier to do spot research, in some cases, in real-time.
