The 5 Reasons I Love Twitter (This Week)
Twitter rocks. I can say it with no hesitation. And I have my reasons.
1. One night my friend MintCool tweeted there was a deal on Flip video cameras at Amazon for $59, which was like 1/3 the price I’d seen in stores, plus did I mention I had an Amazon credit for $32? So I got this sweet unit for $27.
2. WilW, who I do not know except I, like millions of people, saw him in 1986 in Stand By Me, mentioned in a tweet that OS X was ready for update and I downloaded it even before my computer mentioned there was a need. Thanks, Wil!
3. CraigNewmark – who I also do not know personally, but I know (and you may have heard?) that he founded a certain List — and I had a back-and-forth conversation about the best Twitter app for the iPhone one day. (TwitterFon, IMHO, and Tweetie in his.)
4. One night I followed a tweet-link from KathySena to the funniest blog I’d ever seen, and I always appreciate a good laugh.
5. I found out my cousin got tenure. On Twitter. (Actually, he got tenure at George Mason University. But I found out about it on Twitter.)

Gotta love Twitter! I’ve been lucky enough to find some cool things through my Twitter friends as well. And Wil is one cool guy.
