I’m usually an “early adopter“.  I’m pretty much at the front of the line for new technology, cool gadgets, new forms of automation and new platforms.  But I’ve been slow to get up to speed on Twitter and I see that is a big mistake. Twitter is changing the world of marketing ourselves as we know it. Twitter is where it’s at and we all better get there soon.

I’m planning a crash course for myself on how to use Twitter most effectively to leverage the task of getting  known far and wide in the blogosphere with a ripple effect into the real world.

So let’s learn a little more about Twitter, shall we?

Guy Kawasaki is a tech evangelist and way ahead of you and me, probably, in being an early adopter of effective technology. Kawasaki, as we’ve noted, is sold on Twitter and has a lot to say about it.

In Kawasaki’s blog How to Change the World: MediaOnTwitter , he says: “Came across a very useful wiki called MediaOnTwitter. This wiki contains the a list of the reporters, journalists, and bloggers on Twitter. You can use this wiki in two ways:

  1. Finding people worth following.
  2. Getting in touch with reporters, journalists, and bloggers to pitch”
If you start following people on Twitter they may start following you.
Guy Kawasaki has 21,000 followers on Twitter.  He uses it as a network/ marketing engine to feed his new company Alltop.  He gives a plug to Alltop, an “online news rack” or news aggregator of 250 topics with new topics added constantly. Kawasaki points out….

Two other useful sources of information about Twitter are:

  1. Twitter@alltop.com–aggregation of news about Twitter.
  2. Twitterati@alltop–compilation of the last five tweets of the Twitter elite.
You can watch him talk about Twitter yourself, if you want. Then let’s all go brush up on Twitter.  Write me your Twitter name and I’ll start following you and that’s a start.
