Some people just don't see any value at all in something like Twitter. It's not for everyone, undoubtedly. As blogging isn't. Or podcasting, or any other social medium. But I do think it does enable valuable connections and insights, just as Thompson illustrates. The value proposition, as Jim notes. I hear that a lot, too, Kevin.

It's another fantastic application that is magnifying the human 'voice'. Whether used as a live news-feed, to connect with friends or new associates, to express thoughts and ideas, get questions answered, invite participation in online collaboration or surveys, share in huge global events such as Live Earth - Twitter is becoming increasingly valuable. It's all this and more - and it's value only becomes apparent when you are a regular user. Clive Thompson has expressed the almost-inexpressible about Twitter.

The felt it was minutae and more noise for the channel. But as I do not travel as much as I'd like to conferences, Twitter has been all the more valuable. I cannot augment my online relationships with offline meetings as much as I would like. Twitter's helped me increase the level of communication between several colleagues.
