This entire blog is dedicated to the possibilities that one can create with a simple Twitter account. It’s a pretty simple focus. I hope by reading my blog, people will become inspired to use Twitter to do great things.

I’ve posted an article by @junkdnafiction, who uses Twitter to write serialized fiction. I posted a video of a Twitter meet up to donate blood. I posted how @guykawasaki inspired me as a young man and how I later met him on Twitter. @leahjones posted about how Twitter drew a global community of friends into her life. @shannonpaul wrote an article about how Twitter positively impacted the quality of her personal and professional relationships. @christyxcore reported on Comic-Con. @markdavidgerson wrote about the professional connections he’s made and how he’s used Twitter to promote his books. @lauralovesart wrote about the people she’s met from Twitter. @pprlisa has written about organizing and uniting the Twitter community.

Each guest post has focused on a different aspect of Twitter use and yet each post has a common thread: The people. Twitter is all about people and social interaction. Twitter is a fluid and dynamic form of communication. It can either be a giant chat room or an intimate one-on-one conversation. There is no one way to use Twitter.

There’s two pieces to the Twitter magic. One is that we as users can define how we use Twitter. The other is that the quality of the community at Twitter is exceptional. Twitter seldom steps in to regulate its users. Twitter users hold each other accountable and enforce social boundaries. Seemingly, such social anarchy would be destined to fail and yet, this freedom is what makes Twitter so great.

I’m hoping that the stories here and the interviews I will be posting over the next few weeks will become models of possibility for all of us. Social Media provides a set of wonderful tools but comes with very little instruction.

I think in many ways, we are all still finding our way. My intention is for this blog to serve as an inspiration and a guide for what can be accomplished with a single account on Twitter.
