Number two caught my attention. You don’t need contacts to make contact. That’s one thing I like about Twitter also. To make friends you need to communicate. To make a friend on another social site, like FaceBook, you need to add a person as a friend. On Twitter everyone is just one tweet away from being contacted, which in my opinion is how it should be.

Blocking access to Twitter and other social networks /definitely/ inhibits an employee’s ability to be effective.

Blocking Twitter and other social networks is about limiting risk and liability… all employees are a liability… the question is to what degree?

There are arguments for and against open communication into and out of an organization. The more leadership understands the risks/rewards of social media, the more likely we’ll be able to access the information we need when we need it.

I agree with TL, Twitter has helped make my goals an aspirations reachable. I’ve been able to network and learn from some of the biggest PR pros out there, not to mention talk to fellow graduates. It’s completely revitalized my job search, and I no longer feel helpless!

Twitter helps me connect with people in real time. Whether it’s deciding where the party is at SXSW or gathering research for an idea or helping someone figure out a problem or sharing amazing content with others.

Twitter extends reach. What better way to rock out? :)

Love Twitter…ultimate research tool for me. In terms of career development, best practices and finding new and valuable information, I can do no better then the current Twitter environment.

Love having Tweetdeck open while going through my everyday schedule…makes the work day go faster and I end up learning more.

Twitter pre-screens my online reading and helps me find valuable content I would otherwise have missed. I get some great ideas, new ways to think about things, and humorous stuff suggested by those I follow. This has greatly expanded my horizons.

Fortunately, I’ve not worked for a company who blocked Twitter or any of the socnets. For those who do, I’m curious why. If the foundation of business is relationships, why would you cut off a resource that helps you build just that?

I’ve learned so much from the people that have come and gone in my life and thanks to twitter, that is magnified ten fold. It is amazing how easily one can get to know someone through 140 characters, and build lasting meaningful relationships. That’s how Twitter has helped me rock!

Now I must find my AC/DC records!
