<p><a class="zem_slink" title="Guy Kawasaki" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Kawasaki">Guy Kawasaki</a> says he&#8217;s so sold on <a class="zem_slink" title="Twitter" rel="homepage" href="http://twitter.com">Twitter</a>. He thinks Twitter is &#8220;arguably the most powerful branding mechanism since television.&#8221;  In fact, Kawasaki said he&#8217;d rather give up his <a class="zem_slink" title="Mobile phone" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_phone">cell phone</a> for a week than Twitter. And you know what a deprivation <em>that </em>would be.</p>
<p>Kawasaki, who I&#8217;m sure you know, is the original technology evangelist, starting years ago with <a class="zem_slink" title="Apple" rel="homepage" href="http://www.apple.com">Apple</a>, then with his book <a class="zem_slink" title="The Art of the Start: The Time-Tested, Battle-Hardened Guide for Anyone Starting Anything" rel="amazon" href="http://www.amazon.com/Art-Start-Time-Tested-Battle-Hardened-Starting/dp/1591840562%3FSubscriptionId%3D0G81C5DAZ03ZR9WH9X82%26tag%3Dzemanta-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D1591840562">Art of the Start</a>, his blogs, his many companies, including <a href="http://www.alltop.com/">AllTop</a>, and just released new book, <a href="http://www.guykawasaki.com/books/index.shtml">Reality Check: the Irrreverent Guide to Outsmarting, Outmanaging, and Outmarketing Your Competition</a>.</p>
<p>Well, he&#8217;s the guy I turn to when wanting to learn more about <a class="zem_slink" title="LinkedIn" rel="homepage" href="http://www.linkedin.com">LinkedIn</a>, Twitter, social media and a lot of powerful dynamics behind entrepreneuring.</p>
<p>Right now I thought you&#8217;d like to see what Kawasaki has to say about Twitter.  But I&#8217;d also like for you to know what Kawasaki has to say about Twitter and how to use it to gain a following.  That will be coming up.  Here&#8217;s the initial take on  Twitter.  Kawasaki is extremely engaging so I think you&#8217;ll emjoy it.</p>
