I wish this video was available in more languages… I’d be willing to translate it for free into Italian…we need to get the word out about twitter here where its under used and misunderstood… the biggest complaint my italian friends have about twitter? Its all in English… I love twitter, I have met lots of great people, as an american living abroad it helps me stay connected and current. Thank you for this wonderful video..regards, Dea in Italy

Oh man, I would let this man read the phone book to me.

I think Twitter is voyeuristic instant messaging. Though “cocktail party” really sums it up. (and gives you less weird visual images.)

And hey! What is wrong with cat pictures on your blog??? Everybody loves cat pictures.

Thanks everyone.

@Candy, I can assure you we were not paid by Twitter (like Twitter really needs paid advertising).

Many people have found great value in Twitter, while others just don’t get it. We’re trying to help the people who fall into the latter category.

This is just an advertisement for Twitter. I would be surprised if the website that posted it wasn’t paid by the folks at Twitter.

I liked this video very much. I was a beta tester for Tweet Camp and found it useful, easy to understand and comprehensive in presenting the basics but not overwhelming. In short, a great “camp” experience.
This video is a neat follow-up. I like the perspective and the presentation. Well done!

Great post! Will definitely forward to Twitter fence-sitters who are missing out on a great thing. Thanks for the shout out to the weekly Follow the Reader publishing discussions Kat Meyer and I run on Twitter (#followreader).

BTW, don’t know if it’s just me, but the video stopped running at 4:32 and I couldn’t access the final minute of it.
