Social Media marketing was a very hot topic at the conference. Linda Evans from KeyRelevance did a presentation just on Twitter and Flickr. I have been one of the people that just didn't get it up until. Now between what I learned from Linda and you I'm going to open up an account on both and start twittering this weekend. Thanks.

Now, am I to infer from your opening sentence - " Twitter is hard to understand for normal people" - that we are in fact "abnormal"? ;-) Mike, first and foremost, thanks for the shout out! Now, am I to infer from your opening sentence – ” Twitter is hard to understand for normal people” – that we are in fact “abnormal”?

One additional consideration: I believe twitter is also noteworthy for its open architecture. The 3rd party ecosystem that exploded around their service is a testament to the power of open systems: witness the search/meme tools, desktop and browser plug ins, posting/alert apps, and of course the huge array of mobile-friendly tools out there. This ecosystem represents millions of dollars in intellectual property and develop R&D that twitter, inc. didn't have to incur (but from which they have benefited).
