What I’ve Discovered About Twitter

This is a post to contribute to the experiment by Esteban and Venessa for the #MonTwit.

Though, I started off with Twitter, skeptically,very I should say I have grown to learn and love the app. Initially I found it very boring until I got to know Ray Wang, Esteban, Mark Tamis and ahost of others - a long list - via this medium. Neve thought that I could not live w/o putting in a tweet a day! :) A tweet a day keeps me happy!!! Got introduced to some good insights by @prem_k, @sidmishra and a host of others via Twitter.

The most important part about twitter was the seamless and continous flow of information, thoughts, insights, links about my interests that hooked me on much more. It has become a one-stop knowledge shop for me. Augmented reality was introduced by twitter to me -u cud say that! Never knew. Long before I realised, my company gave me the opportunity to interact via this medai and I could not find a better way to gather topics for my "T" discussions (*grin*). Where does this fellow get all and so much information, they ask :).

But, also i love the way the network works in this simple interface. 140 is just enuf to say what i want and jus enuf to say what i don't want too! I like the RT feature though I haven't dabbled much in the Twitter apps. Did use Klout, twitter counter and others though and had fun. Till date am still learning and there can't be a better Knowledgebase for me along with being an iterface to interact with the industry.

What has been your twitter experience? Share the same and let me/us know. Tweet with #montwit

Need for pressing organizational change

Getting up and dusting yourself? A question every business needs to answer. The past year and fiscal have been tough for a majotiy of them around the world, irrespective of the caste,creed and nationality (unity in diveristy ...eh?). At the next inflection point which will be prolonged due to a number of reasons - the climate talk being one- it is time to look into reoganizing and re-fitting the business processes and bring about an organizational change. It is imperative to understand and readapt to the new environment which is much more social(! yeah i like that!), relevant, challenging, opportunity-based, innovation-craved and more public-eye exposed.

Every step being watched and every new task being more competitive in the market, what is it that will differentiate your business? It is change again which alone can tackle these challengin times. Refusing to accept and staying in the comfort of your coccoon will only help you hibernate and lag behind by "ages", when the next year comes by.

Go out and change and lead the way!
