    ‘Twitterville’ Excerpt

    Residents of “Twitterville” include all tyrpes, from CEOs to the student who became the first to report the devastation of the Szechuan earthquake; from visionaries trying to raise money for a cause to citizen journalists who outshine traditional media companies.

    Twitter is the most rapidly adopted communication tool in history, going from zero
    to ten million users in just over two years. On Twitter, word can spread faster than
    wildfire. Companies no longer have the option of ignoring the conversation.

    Unlike other hot social media spaces, “Twitterville” is dominated by professionals,
    not students. And despite its size, it still feels like a small town. Twitter allows
    people to interact much the way they do face-to-face, honestly and authentically. One
    minute, you’re complaining about the weather with local friends, the next, you’re
    talking shop with a colleague based halfway across the globe.

    No matter where you’re from or what you do for a living, you will find conversations
    on Twitter that are valuable. Despite the millions of people joining the site, you’ll
    quickly find the ones who can make a difference to you.

    Social media writer Shel Israel shares revealing stories of “Twitterville
    residents, from CEOs to the student who became the first to report the devastation of
    the Szechuan earthquake; from visionaries trying to raise money for a cause to citizen
    journalists who outshine traditional media companies.
