I have been using Twitter for 12 years and I love it more than ever. For me, Twitter is not a social network. It’s an interest community. An idea network. More like a protocol.

Twitter Early Days
I have finished reading the Twitter founding story. I remember when I signed up for Twitter in April 2007 and instantly fell in love. I loved the concept of ‘blogging via SMS’ and did it using my Palm Treo at the time. Learnings: Twitter was born because Odeo — a podcasting company — has failed and needed a new…

Why I started using twitter
First of all, this interesting podcast with twitter co-founder Evan Williams (and co-founder of Blogger.com) made me sign up. Things I learned: #1: Twitter is so freakin’ easy.
