I started using Twitter as a way of networking with other bloggers. I use it more for fun than business, tho I can see how, once you get a good group of followers, it could be a useful tool. So far my "Tweets" consist of such groundbreaking news as: "I'm getting a haircut. Wish me luck!"

I first started using Twitter at the AAAA Account Planning Conference. I found it easy and fun, and the enforced brevity made it somehow less intimidating. The sense of community formed around the event was also really cool.

I know people who use it to get the word out on events and also to schedule informal meetings- anything from drinks after work to a quickie brainstorming session. So far I love it.

Barack Obama is using Twitter to GREAT effect. On the other hand, I haven't quite figured out how to make it work for me. Still, I try: twit with me

I've used it to send links to current online campaigns, posted articles, blogs, etc., and have gotten quite a few followers - use the tinyurl.com app to shorten urls to fit in the character limit.

Like Julia, I use Twitter more for fun than business. I posted a Twitter badge on my personal blog so my friends can see my Twitter updates while they're reading my postings.
