My myopic colleague Six-Eye Jackson posted a blog this week called The Twitter Myth in which she knocks Twitter as a failure in modern communications (I paraphrase).

Not so! IMHO, Twitter puts out as much as you put in. Merely gathering followers and posting blog titles is not the way to get traffic to flow to your website. You have to chat people up, join in the reindeer games, get involved. Yes, I’m volunteering to take over some of SnarlyBoodle.com’s Tweeting chores, I’m afraid.

Here’s an example of people playing together on Twitter. There are trending topics marked with hash-tags (#) for easy searches, and anybody can join in on these running conversations. The following Tweets are recent responses to the ongoing #nevertrust topic…
