Whatcha Talkin Bout Willis?

By this time you have probably heard about Twitter. If not, here is a quick summary. Twitter is a site where you, and the rest of the world get 140 characters to answer one question “what are you doing?”
Now the common first reaction by someone who discovers Twitter is to scrunch up their face, tilt their head to the side and scratch it, sigh, tilt their head back again, shrug their shoulders and say “huh?” “What is the big deal?”
Well shortly thereafter you begin to discover that on Twitter people are sharing thoughts and opinions on everything under the sun in a very concise and easy to understand format. Better yet the format is constantly evolving. Twitter also makes it possible to follow brilliant thinkers like John Moore, Pete Blackshaw, and Guy Kawaski, as you follow “what they do.”
Still, the whole thing can seem a bit overwhelming and disjointed. That is where the new Twitter Search (formerly Summize.com) comes into play. Simply type in a term and you can search in real time what people are talking about. Search Dayton, or Obama, or McCain, Pizza, Reds, Apple, whatever - Twitter search will aggregate the results so that you can begin to make sense of it all. Better yet, it is equipped with an RSS feed so that you can track the conversation as it evolves. Track mentions of your name, your employer, your friends, and on and on.
So do you wonder what Willis is talking about? Well I am not sure if Willis (Todd Bridges) uses Twitter, but you can find a whole bunch of people talking about him and darn near anything else by using Twitter Search. Give it a try, and share the interesting things you find with your comments.
