Nifty post, Adam. You’re right on the mark here. Twitter is, in my mind, the first truly “social” social networking site. At least, it’s the first one I’ve participated it. it’s possible that Digg was that way in the beginning, but I don’t think so. You’ve gained a follower (@writingjourney)!

Adam – I agree with you about Twitter being more social than other social networking sites. It does seem like you get to know people on a more personal level. Now that I think about it, I posted something today about my son being sick. Twitter was the only place that I posted that because it lets people know what is going on in your life. Other sites don’t really do that, or you (at least I) feel funny posting stuff that is too personal. People may never know that I have a son or that I am ill myself unless they follow me on Twitter. Great video….and see you on Twitter @tinaladuke

WOW – how much FUN was THAT tonight – yah?!

Thanks 4 creating this video – so others will catch the REAL Addiction of TWitter – and that is – CONNECTING with people on a PERSONAL level – annnnd – having FUN with it all – just like you would at a party.

Glad our Co-opetition provided YOU just as many new followers and TRUE connections as it did for @WarrenWhitlock & myself. I met soooo many VERY cool people – AND “True Influencers” who were able to motivate their Tribe VERY quickly.

I think I was most of all HUMBLED by how wonderful people really are – and how they’ll go out of their way just to help other people out.

Sure – this was all in good fun w/ this game / Twitter Contest – but in the end – I know if Warren or I really needed something – that there would be great people behind us, supporting us and helping out. THAT is what True Connections on Twitter is allll about & what makes Twitter soooo powerful AND – quite frankly – ADDICTING!

Looks like u need to join @TWitAholics if u’ve become as big an addict as moi.

THANK YOU Adam from the bottom of my heart for championing my “cause” and rallying behind us BOTH tonight. Mwah! Big Virtual hugs 2 ya!
