As I thought about the next topic for a blog post, I could not help but get drawn back to Twitter. It is what interests most of my readers, and the truth be told, it is what interests me. This week, Twitter experienced a game-changing event. My wife joined! The reason I mention my wife joining is because when she joined, I started to realize that there are some very basic terms that are unknown to new Twitter users and are not explained well anywhere. I figured I would take the task upon myself to explain to the millions of the people out there who will be joining Twitter over the next year or two, what they need to know.

Tracx’s Presentation at Techonomy (HD Video)
After I wrote about Tracx in my last post, and how I connected with it the least out of the all the presenting companies at Techonomy, the CTO and Co-Founder Niv Singer commented on the post. He could not have been nicer and explained that Tracx listens to its users’ feedback and how it is a work-in-progress.

Top 5 Reasons to Tweet
Being a heavy Twitter user has presented a very serious challenge for me. I am asked multiple times every day, “What is Twitter?” I always try to answer that question in the most relevant way taking my audience into consideration. It is really hard to sell Twitter to someone who just doesn’t get it. Now when someone asks me the famous question, “What the heck is all the buzz about? What is so great about Twitter?” I will direct them to the following list in which I name the 5 advantages Twitter posseses over other social networks:
Lounge- A Twitter iPhone App that Lacks Simplicity
A friend of mine tweeted about a new Twitter app for the iPhone called Lounge. I, of course wanted to review it, like I do with any other iPhone app that spikes my interest. Spoke to the developers and got myself a copy for review.
Top 5 Steps after Joining Twitter
This is probably one of the most important posts I have written so far because I am hoping it will help a lot of people join and use Twitter more efficiently. I have been noticing that a lot of my Facebook friends have been joining Twitter, I am not sure if it because of me trying to sell it to them or because they are hearing the word Twitter all over the place. The bottom line is that Twitter is the future of the Web. It is already the most effective networking tool in my opinion, and it is only getting bigger.
Big Week for Kevin Rose & the iPhone

So, I will try to focus on one new very important development that is bound to change the way we interact with Twitter and our followers.

The Twitter industry has got to be one of the fastest growing industries in history. There are endless services and programs to support this very basic yet addictive concept of micro blogging in 140 characters. There are many desktop clients for Mac and PC, some of my favorites include TweetDeck, Digsby, Twhirl, and most recently DestroyTwitter. However, when it comes to iPhone Twitter apps, there are only a few choices…
Topify Makes Twitter Even Simpler
If you have spent any time at all talking to me or reading this blog, you know that I am a huge Twitter fan. Twitter has become the number one buzzword of the Web over the past few months. Everyone is talking about it. Now I have to say, that even though I use it and convince others to use it, there really is a lot of room for improvement. Lately, a new service was introduced that begs the question “How did no one think of this before?”
