First an apology to Guy, I'm a great fan of yours. I've read many of your books, follow your blog(s), read and read your articles. I do this because, more often than not, you have interesting insights and something meaningful to say. Please excuse me for using you as an example about my struggle and confusion with Twitter (also, while we haven't met, I sense you have a sense of humor).

I'm a newbie to Twitter, and a relative newbie to Social Networking. I believe these tools can have a tremendous impact, so I am trying to understand them. I respect Guy's leadership and view on these topics, so I am "hanging on every tweet" trying to understand their inner meaning. As I write this article, Guy has been communicating with me (pardon my ego, I tend to think of him reaching out to me -and 59,420 others). I'm learning that Guy is very talkative but he really is sending a lot:



Guy's a smart guy (sorry, I couldn't help it), so clearly there has to be something significant about bacon---he reached out to me 18 minutes ago. 22 minutes ago, he knew that I wanted to know about bad Valentine's Day gifts, and 2 minutes ago, he thought I would be interested in beautiful navigation menus.

Guy is all about creating meaning....so I'm trying to figure this out and really struggling.

If it weren't him, I would tend to think of this as TWAM (SPAM for tweets?) --- though I did "opt-in."

Can someone help me? What am I not getting?

Guy, if by some chance you read this, thanks for a sense of humor. There are lot's of people I am following-or dropping in on. I am really trying to figure this out.
