Twitter can be used for so many different reasons it boggles the mind, so it’s important to understand the fine distinctions and purpose of this tool, for you personally.

To the electronic, phone-happy, can’t live a minute without some internet access population (the bulk of my friends on Twitter), this gadget seems like a terrible idea. It’s much more limited than a smartphone, doesn’t offer full functions like a Kindle does for a book (meaning, since you can’t see links and pics you are dead in the water except for seeing and responding to tweets) and it looks like an over-sized calculator. There may be some possible uses for the TwitterPeek though… that could save companies a lot of money.

Several people have asked me to write about how Lists could help them from a business perspective. Here are some things you might want to think about when creating your own Twitter lists.

I discovered a nifty tool today called TweetReach. You enter a distinct search term, url or hashtag, and the software searches a maximum of 50 tweets for free.
