Twitter: First Contact...

After all this articles about twitter, i decided to create a account on twitter and to take a look at this new, so called real-time internet.
OK, creating an account is very easy and after that, you can login and see something like this:

This was easy, but not really helpful ;-). So what about some further searches e.g. Oracle:

This is not really what i expected.

  1. Dietrich,

    It took me 6 months or so to begin to realize the value of twitter. So don't expect to have an epiphany right away. :)

    Lists are now the rage...you can check out http://twitter.com/eddieawad and click on the lists link...there are a lot of Oracle related people there you can choose from.

    Good luck.
