I continue to find more and more uses for Twitter. I was watching the Blue Jackets hockey game tonight and set up a search on TweetDeck for "Blue Jackets" and voila! A stream of comments from fans and foes alike continued to fill my screen all evening long. It made for a different experience. Try it out and you may catch the Twitter addiction too. TweetDeck is a tool that you will want to check out to enhance your Twittering experience. What are you waiting for. Tweet! Tweet!

Twitter Thought Streams - The power of information bursts!
I attended a Logistics Technology Forum this week in Chicago and found that Twitter was alive and well behind the scenes. Roughly 6% of the attendees at some time or another sent Tweets during the conference. It appeared that most were new to the tool, but I can only imagine what Twittering will be like as the users mature. I can imagine a real time thought stream coming from multiple attendees during conferences. People that can't attend could subcribe to the stream and pick up valuable information even when time constraints keep them from attending. Short bursts of thought will educate the world.
Long live Twitter...

The Twitter Craze! Will it continue?
Now that the race to a million followers is over, will the Twitter craze continue or will it fizzle? Only time will tell. There are many Twitter tools out there to get more out of Twitter. Twitter can be used on your computer or on your mobile device. You can use it to send pictures and videos and you can use it to find people or search for things like what is currently going on in your city. Search for news, or find out what is being said about the TV show you are watching as you are watching it.
I am not sure that I have totally figured out Twitter yet, or how I can get the most out of it, but for now, I am still trying. How do you use twitter. Twitter me @UAKidsDad and give me your best ideas to keep the Twitter craze going.

Ashton Kutcher Kicked Ass
Mr Kutcher has made a statement to the world. That is, you all have a voice, so use it. You don't have to wait on someone else to tell you what the news is. You can decide it for yourself. You can censor your own news. You decide when you want it, how you want it, and where your want it.
We have become a world of robots. We listen and we do. Our actions are directed by what we hear from the mainstream. We have become robots. We don't have to be. Use Twitter to speak out. Be you. Be you. Be you. Use your mind. Speak your mind. Make a difference. TWITTER!
