Simon - look me up if you're in Toronto, and I'll do the same next time I'm in Ottawa. Mark - great tips that apply not just to the online world, but life in general. Thanks for the comments, guys!

I share your view (naturally) about it adding value and, I'd say, there's two important distinctions to recognize when getting into Twitter: 1. Like so many social networks, you really only get out what you put in. So don't expect to think Twitter is the be all and end all if you're not prepared to follow/create/find the community that works for you within Twitter, or if you don't take advantage of tools like search.twitter.com to look for areas you can gain specific value, as defined by your own needs. 2. Give it a real try. Don't just jump in during a conference and make a conclusion based on one conversation and five tweets. Live with Twitter for a little while and then decided if it's worth the effort for you. Like so many other things we use + play with, you'll start to generate ideas and applications for this service if you're seeing the big picture. Cheers!
