The FASTforward Blog Guide to Twitter
Over the last three years, the members of the Fast Forward Blog have been writing regularly on the developing 2.0 world. If you been tracking the blog since early on, or diligently follow all the links into the archives, or even search for an item of interest – you hopefully have founds lots of interesting ideas and insights that helped you track and understand the emergence of enterprise 2.0, social media, and more. And yet it can still be hard to get the full value of all the insights that have been discussed or pointed to from here without some overarching narrative thread.
Hence the idea for these guides to see if we can aggregate, edit and make more accessible the collective “wisdom” that has been published here over the years. Our hope: that one of us can approach a topic and do our best to extract the most value from it for you.
Where to begin? Many think that Twitter is a great place to start as it embodies nearly all the lessons that we have to learn to become adept in this new world. It is also very simple and easy to adopt with a great many immediate benefits.
So, with that, the first of our guides: The Fast Forward Blog Guide to Twitter.

Very informative and detailed view on Twitter. Yes I'm beginning to see an immediate impact on working practices especially in the fast track startup environment, and that can only spread as larger organisations look to emulate these and the likes of Cisco, in gaining agility in hard times.
