As I chat with fellow solopreneurs I often use terms they aren’t familiar with (cause they are rooted in terra firma, not cyberspace) and Twitter is just one of those words. You know the words that make their eyes glaze and roll to the back of their head.

I found a great post on some of the uses for Twitter and how it affects the journalism industry.  Recently I had the opportunity to attend the Vision to Venture Event sponsored by Microsoft Live Small Business. I was able to Twitter what the speakers were sharing during the conference. If you visited my site that day, you would have been able to follow what was going on at the event. Better yet, if you were following me, you got it in real time.

Chris Pirillo explains Twitter and how he uses it. You should also check out his site. He has a live video stream. You can watch him work.  I’m not sure I’d want anyone watching me while I work.

Here’s a great video explaining the charm of Twitter.
