By Swapmeet Louie ⋅ April 30, 2009 ⋅ Comments

Twittering has become an interesting daily experience for me. The more I check in there, the more I find that there are so many great people, great sites, and great networks available for people to connect with each other. There are times when I find it a bit overwhelming, and at times I find it a mess, but for the most part its simplicity is its strength.

When I first came across Twitter, I thought it was just the same as Facebook’s “wall” section… until I realized [...]
