         Today there is a growing use of social e-networks, such as Twitter, that operate on the Internet and cellphones, for personal, professional, and social communication and connection. Twitter, that is in the current forefront, is unique in that it has evolved into a  communication, news network that is superseding blogs and other information sources. It seems that most news agencies (print, television, e-technologies) are now connecting to Twitter to bring readers, audiences to their media.

 Twitter is also significant in that is connecting insightful social commentators from the general public to recognized, national/international leaders.  Never has there been such a  powerful, quick, easy way for little Davids to communicate with and influence big Goliaths. Twitter is now a network that can influence our world for good by enabling educated, mature, balanced leaders and individuals from the general public to have immediate access to influence local, national, international leaders in  debates of extreme consequence. Communicators, local-international (especially those who are positive, gracious, and wise)
 have unique opportunities on Twitter.com to impact our world for tremendous good.

Twitter is having a powerful, positive impact on business.

some businesses have discovered that Twitter is an effective way of communicating with consumers. Dell (NASDAQ: DELL) says Twitter has produced $1 million in revenue over the past year and a half through sale alerts. People who sign up to follow Dell on Twitter receive messages when discounted products are available the company’s Home Outlet Store. They can click over to purchase the product or forward the information to others. http://digital.venturebeat.com/2008/12/15/twitter-has-made-dell-1-million-in-revenue/ .
Twitter seems to have especially strong potential in marketing to brand or niche customers.

...The potential for brands is enormous. As we continue to invest in the constantly-evolving story of our brands...Twitter will become integral... for a targeted niche (even a large one), it could be a knockout.

Micro-blogging on
Twitter is having a significant effect on politics and political rallying, as we have seen in Iran.
Watch Mike Huckabee and Sarah Palin rally supporters on Twitter. 
There has definitely been a media-shift and many are hitching their stars to Twitter.


Micro-blogging allows you to write brief text updates about your life on the go, and send them to friends and interested observers via text messaging, instant messaging, email or the web. The most popular service is called Twitter, which was developed last year and became popular among techno-gurus at the 2007 South by Southwest Conference in Austin, Texas.
