  I love that idea! A couple of weeks ago, I posted a note in Facebook on "Why I Twitter" after my Facebook Friends were curious about my Status Twittering. It explains some of the top-line benefits of Twittering for the 'layman.' It got passed around a bit, and even ended up on this blog: http://tinyurl.com/3a89vz
  
  My Facebook Friends are starting to "get it" now... and while most are not yet Twittering, they at least understand it a bit better. Some are even trying it!
  
  By the way, since the FB post, I have 140 new Followers on Twitter and have made lasting connections. Including you, Nick!

  Totally dug the post - and yes - was hipped to your blog by Vaynerchuck - but you have spurred me to action:
  
  My parents live in Scotland - their three adults kids live in - Los Angeles, Boston and Brighton - my 65 year old mother has sent out a daily email, called "The Daily Drivel" - to all of us (and spouses too) - every Monday to Friday since around 1999 - she was in effect blogging long before the bloggers - but - she doesn't use Twitter! So - I'm off to get her on the platform - I think she'll dig it too - watch out for @grandmanorm soon!

  As I guide more coworkers and customers into social media services, I like the idea of having a name for the role, other than "the IT guy who signs up for all the Web stuff." Regardless, I get all warm and fuzzy every time I see someone I help go "a-ha!" and realize how a certain tool or workflow can get stuff done faster, smarter and/or easier. Thanks Nick for the great article. (Just kidding, Tony.)
