twitter

I don't get twitter, at least not professionally. I prefer to use it as a mind meld, geotracking device with people who care that I just caught a cold, or took my kids to the park, or have had the same song running through my head all day.

I deeply understand that the personal is political, but is the personal professional? Up to a point, and that point stops at twitter for me. Character is important but not where someone is having dinner. What do you think? Would you and how do you use twitter professionally?
