I’m a fairly recent adopter of Twitter having only started using it a couple of months ago, despite knowing about it for a year or more – and having some preconceptions which stopped me using it. Well I’d thoroughly recommend it as a business and social tool. This video cast explains my views best:
The real reasons I recommend twitter is that it isn’t just an Instant Message status tool. I can convey feeling, mood, actions, next actions, all in a context which is recorded and hence people can view a historic timeline of my twitters. This is really useful in a team, especially my team which is geographically dispersed. It also allows me to understand more about colleagues workstyles and mood – very important when you aren’t co-located – I won’t know if you are ill or feeling rough, but with twitter I will.
Useful applications which extend twitter are:
Facebook status / twitter integration

Are you managing to get Twitteroo to work in the office. It works fine at home, but won’t post when i’m in the office.

Hi Graham, I’ve found this week that the proxy.pac is working, otherwise I have a fixed IP for the proxy and that always works.
