Nick Kellet (or should I call him @nickkellet) approached me a couple weeks ago about his passion for Twitter and the power it (Twitter) has to connect not just people but communities and cites.
He came up with the idea of Twitter Business Day or #TBD for you twitterer's on September 9,2009, again for your twitter freaks that would be #090909, to be able to show businesses, big and small the force a tool like twitter can produce.
Here is a video that @nickkellet did that explains what the Twitter Business Day initiative is all about. Its simple...don't over complicate it. Twitter Business Day Video
If you are not yet on Twitter... you need to be and you should to take 9 minutes to learn how to use it - Here is link for you: Twitter Video. You don't need to be a twitter freak, however its helpful to get more people to follow you. It can be very useful - example. My community has been on fire watch for the past 3 weeks due to forest fires in the area. I have found it easier and MUCH MUCH faster to find out what is going on with the fire through Twitter then it is to listen to the radio or try and find a site that's typically behind by an hour or so in its postings....just one example. I also used it to find a wireless speaker system for my house just the other day. It was fantastic, especially since the company (Sonos - Twitter name: @sonos) was also on Twitter, they sent me a tweet, set up a time to call me the follow day and POW...done. Simple and easy!
Have fun with it and use it as a tool to get instant information.
