Still not convinced about Twitter?

When it came to Twitter I must admit that I sat back and watched for quite some time, trying to work out the real benefit and whether it was worth my time. Both my actions and beliefs have changed to the benefits of Twitter (you can find me here).

When it comes to real world examples of the benefits of Twitter as a tool for connectivity I will defer, at this point, to one of the hyper-connected people that I’ve had the pleasure to interact with both online and in real-life, Stephen Collins (also known as trib).

Just this morning Stephen put together a very compelling list of benefits he has received from using Twitter.

Twitter is a far more powerful and reliable search engine than Google or Mahalo can ever be. Why? Trust. I trust implicitly any person who chooses to @ answer a question I pose. I filter, of course, but the trust is still there.

Some pretty interesting real world benefits from some online connections!
