Loved your distinction between "overwhelmed" and "empowered," and your excellent suggestions for searching, sharing & managing content. Charlotte, one can Twitter in moderation & with humility. :) Don't pass over this excellent book platform-building tool without giving it a go. It can be fun & rewarding to Tweet, but isn't easily understood without trying it out yourself. Looking forward to more GMM!

Congrats on your new book! Glad to have you visit "the minute" ... you know, I would be interested to have a conversation with your teaching colleague to understand the rationale behind his/her thinking on twitter. It's one thing to decide it isn't for you but another all together to suggest a few million people are communicating with each other on twitter out of "arrogance." I can tell you that I, for one, would not spend my time among arrogant people on purpose. I think your teacher has a few things to learn about Web 2.0. I would be more than happy to speak with you further online or off about social media as it relates to business and/or publicity. As for its use as a promotional tool, it is all in "how" the promotional information is shared. (One may be considered "arrogant" if one uses twitter to push a product or hard sell.) Twitter is about conversation...and, yes Word of Mouth...but not sales. You may find helpful info on this blog's resources page (http://www.graymatterminute.com/resources ) that talks to this point... just scroll down to the bottom for all the good twitter links and even some case studies that might be useful to you. If you venture onto twitter, please do connect with me to say hello. I'm at http://www..twitter.com/usegraymatter . Again, very nice of you to stop by and leave a comment. Appreciate it very much and I wish you every success with your new book. -R "The best teachers are the ones who never stop being students." Thank you for your feedback, Charlotte.

I have a new book coming out in July and my publicist has told me I need to twitter etc. But a teaching colleague of mine told me that twitter is only for the arrogant. Yikes! I certainly do not want to appear arrogant. But I know it's important to get the word out there and so I am grateful to this article and the others on this site that support the connectivity endeavor. I just stumbled onto your site.
