Over the past few days, Charlie Villanueva & Chris Bosh raced to 50K Twitter Followers. Chris Bosh won this morning, meaning Charlie now has to star in one of Bosh’s YouTube videos. Bosh is letting his “Twitter Army” decide which character Charlie plays. This whole race was interesting to me because both guys were attempting to activate their fanbases in unique ways. What’s even more thought provoking now that it’s over is the fact that both of Charlie and Chris actually share 21,019 followers. 41% of Chris Bosh’s followers are also following Charlie. These fans didn’t pick a side, they chose to watch the conversation unravel. (via @kylemac)

VIDEO: Twitter in Plain English (via mashable)

If you’re struggling to understand what Twitter is all about, this video presents it in a nice, clear way.

As you get used to tweeting (I know, I don’t like that word either…) and you begin to initiate conversation, start branching out and try to make a connection or two through Twitter.  You’ll find that the question “What are you doing?” transcends to something more like, “What are you interested in right now?” At that point you’ll realize the value of a flattened pyramid, the benefits of filling the void, and the joy of keeping track of your friends’ shenanigans.
