A good friend was bustin my chops last night...challenging me to give him good reasons why he should Twitter.  I can't tell him why he should use twitter, but my first few reasons jumped from my mouth without having to think about it for even a moment:

1. It keeps the Fishhook team connected and in relationship with one another as if we worked in the same office (we have an office on Indy's north side, we also work from five home offices in Indy area, a home office in Cincinnati and one in Miami, Florida.)  Twitter allows us to keep involved in the little details of each others lives (at a level controlled by each user) even through we aren't physically together every day.  For instance, I know that yesterday, Janie had Jury Duty in Florida.  She wanted to be selected but wasn't and the view from the building in downtown Miami was beautiful. 

2. It allows me to easily go deeper into more personal and fun relationships with my clients who Tweet. 

3. It keeps me connected with friends and family throughout the day. 

Try it.  Sign up for Twitter and follow me. I'm evanmcbroom
