My Social Networking User Testimonial

I wrote this testimonial as a part of the web 2.0 presentation we are doing tomorrow for the President and the Chairman of the company.

"I originally got involved into social networking for the purpose of locating long-lost friends. It was summer of 2006 and Myspace (myspace.com) was huge at the time. It gave me an opportunity to have my own private virtual high school reunion.

Since then I tried a few different social networking sites and they all had similarities but definitely were targeted towards different audiences/target market. I found Myspace to be very juvenile after a while so I decided to look elsewhere to socialize on the web. So I discovered Twitter (twitter.com). I loved it immediately for its non-committal way of blogging, aka micro-blogging (140 characters max). Twitter is a way for me to describe my state of mind, share and research helpful information, stay current on the new trends related to my life and career, and network globally. I became a twitterer in March 2007 and since then it became a part of my everyday life. My morning coffee is just not the same unless I read through the twits I missed while I was sleeping."
