Well said. I value twitter, but all the reasons I value it are to meet people who don’t have 1,000,000 followers.

Good article. I was glad that I (somehow) ended up being one of the ‘cool crowd’ as I did with Wave.

Great post. It’s really fascinating to see how behaviors are emerging from Twitter. The ego feed is probably the one we see most.

What’s really funny, tho, is that if you ask the average Joe who Pete Cashmore, Guy Kawasaki or mashable is, they would give you a blank stare. But I would wager that most of them know who Barack Obama is. So being widely famous in your niche is important for your niche, but it doesn’t make you famous.

For me, I use twitter to connect with folks, keep track of my professional niche, and keep tabs on what’s happening *now*. There is no proper way to use Twitter, so if folks want to track ego, that’s great. For them.

Thanks for your smart post!
