It's essentially the ideas, the feedback and the people are so genuine, And as surprised to find this wonder to find this miracle suddenly part of our lives as well as I am. I can touch a life or tap into knowledge happening a half a world away from me here in the suburban DC with a little care and a few keystrokes. A terrifying diagnosis has brought friends out from the woodwork and allowed me a place to heal among people who have put their arms around me and allowed me permission to tell them the worst, and they still come back. Twitter was made possible by the technology, But the people are what makes twitter into what it has become. It's my home-base, My safe spot. And just the beginning of something wonderful.

I was just trying to get it straight in my own head. I apologize for the rambling nature - that's what I get for late-night posts. But I really appreciate the feedback! Wow thanks guys.

Trying to explain Twitter to someone who's never seen it or doesn't understand the value in it, is like trying to explain electricity to a bushman. When asked why I Twitter, most often, my response is "...I have met fascinating people from all over the world and had interaction with them, that I would/could never have had without this particular medium..." I too share a dislike for IM proggys, it's not the instant availability that I dislike so much as the one on one need to be instantly present in the conversation... with Twitter, I can read, digest, then respond... and my response is generally as timely as it needs to be in order to continue the conversation (much like Vbulletin type forum conversations) but at the same time, it has that "cocktail party" atmosphere that you so eloquently described... Kudos on a great (perhaps the best) definitive blog posting I've seen on Twitter. I knew there was a reason I like following you… :)
