This post is a test post for my newly installed Twitter Updater for Wordpress.
In this way when I write a new blog post here it automatically updates my Twitter account and all of my Twitter followers can keep an eye out on my blog when I decide to write more in depth posts on topics and information.
In this manner I can integrate my blog and Twitter more seamlessly to use both Social Media tools to their fullest potential.
Just saw this great post from SavvySugar.com and thought it would be great to share on my blog.

Just finished viewing the keynote from Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco delivered by Yahoo’s CTO Ari Balogh about Yahoo’s new strategy to “open up” its platofrm so developers can tap into their large demographic.
To the left is an example of how this platofrm will be divided and opened up. According to the keynote the 3 main startegic goals of Yahoo opening itself up are:
1. Rewiring Yahoo
2. Open Yahoo! to developers like never before.
3. Making Yahoo! more social.
It is interesting to see Yahoo! jump on the open developer platform bandwagon like MySpace, Facebook and others. Curious to jump on board and see what can be done. This opening up of Yahoo (together with the integration to Google’s Open Social) will make this one exciting initiative for this year and beyond. Curious to hear your thoughts!
For the past week or so I have been agressively trying to understand and study the use of Twitter.
I have following from a macro level on what Twitter is and the pros and cons of using Twitter as a social media tool. So far the results have been promising.
I recently told a few active friends from within my social network circle about my participation with Twitter and to my surprise many still were unfamiliar and actually never heard of it. When I tell them that it is a “Micro Blogging” tool, instantly they reply, “I do not blog or do not have time to blog. I like to stay connected”.
That is the answer.
Twitter seems to be a radical new way to stay connected in bite size chunks with your friends that you are following and those people who wish to follow you without the clutter of all of the other modules that come along with the larger social networks like Facebook and MySpace. Who has the attention span for that?
More to come on the Social Media use of Twitter and other Micro Blogging or should I say Micro Communication tools.
