You're Sooooo "Tweet"

What are you doing?
I mean it. Right now, what are you doing?
This is the question that MILLIONS are answering every minute of the day on TWITTER. Twitter was "born" on March 21, 2006. Relatively unknown then, over the past year TWITTER has grown 700+% to over 10 million users worldwide. Even more amazing to me is the fact that users who are between the ages of 25-54 are the demographic driving this tremendous growth. AND, my Mom is on Twitter!!!!

Because of this rapid rise to greatness, I did some searching and wanted to share some articles and blogposts about the TWITTER phenomena. Darren Rowse wrote a post in December, 2008, Why Twitter Will Go Mainstream In 2009. He shared 10 reasons why TWITTER will continue to take off, one of which being it's popularity among the political and celebrity crowds.

In today's NY Times, there was an article about OPRAH's first "tweets", Oprah’s First Words on Twitter . Wednesday's USA Today had a cover story highlighting how Twitter was interfering with personal relationships; Relationships in a TWIST over Twitter. YIKES!!!!

If you're not on TWITTER, check it out. In 140 characters or less, you can let the world in on what is going on (or not going 0n) in your life.
