The first time I tried twitter more than a year ago when a friend od mine told me about this new thing. We both twitted sending messages to eachother. After a while we stopped unable to see any use for this crazy program.

A couple of weeks ago I finally understood how usefull twitter could be. I was at a conference where twitter was used during the conference to comment and to ask questions. I was quite fascinated be the activity I saw on twitter during the conference and was very inspired by the debate in the room as well as the debate on twitter.  During the conference questions from twitter was presented to the contributors and they would answer.

A couple days later I was able to follow another conference using twitter. The conference was in Barcelona and the sound was streamed over the internet. This meant that I could follow the debate online and on twitter at the same time. It was like being there!

Since then I have used twitter every day. I have learned to use the search-function and have started folowing som of the facinating people found on twitter.
