How Micro-blogging Will Win Converts

Cynthia on May 12th, 2008

In case you missed this recent Digital post, How to Twitter (see Twitter in Plain English), you might consider going back and taking a second look.  Upon introduction, Twitter can seem both frivolous & narcissistic.  But as fan created, 3rd party apps roll out we will likely see it's growing value. 

For example, this weekend I suddenly lost over half my Feedburner subscribers here at The Digital Sanctuary. My data report clearly showed all those subscribers were using Google Feedfetcher.  No online troubleshooting provided me with any updated information.  I assumed, having just updated my WordPress from 2.3 to 2.5., it must be my problem. 

After hearing of my dilemma, a search genius someone sent this link to me……

 

Summize, a Twitter search engine, increases the value of the micro-blogging sphere for me. Mashable reviewed Summize and compared it to Tweetscan here.  Next time I have a problem and need immediate, niche-oriented news, I'll start with a Twitter search.  And now I might even pay attention to tlogging.

By the way, if anyone knows whether this micro-blogging sphere has an official name yet, please let me know. And please follow me on Twitter.
