I got thinking today that now that I have totally moved over to the Mac for my development needs I need to document somewhere what I have installed and what certain replacement applications I use for the PC ones I once used.
I think the purpose of Twitter really has changed since is launch. Today for
example I think I've seen more How Do I .... , Who has.... and Anyone ....
Questions then normal.
Which I think is great, it means people can ask questions that inspire great
answers from everyone on their list, which will of course share it back to
everyone. The main tip I would say is to ensure you use the @UserName command
before it, so if your replying back with a Thanks that worked and others on you
list don't have that person on theirs they can go to your twitter page and click
the name and find out what the great response back was.
Sharing of information in this day and age is a must; I remember a long time ago
someone said to me that I was like a squirrel hoarding his nuts, using nuts as
an analogy for Information. I would share anything and I'd admit in those days I
didn't share much, as I was young and it certainly was an advantage for me,
especially when people used the age card against me :) But now I'm older and a
little wiser (I hope) I'm happy to share information that I have as I know I
don't know everything and thus will need others helps. As the old saying says
what goes around comes around which I do believe in, both in a good way and the
bad way.
So if you've not got the Twitter Bug give it ago (Easy with Google Talk), the
information you will learn will astound you, if you have the right people on
your list ;) So
add
me for starters.
