Finally, Twitter is catching on strong in Iowa and hopefully will grow in Dubuque as well. Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that allows its users to send and read other users’ updates (otherwise known as tweets), which are text-based posts of up to 140 characters in length. KCRG-TV ran a report on Twitter and what it is and how people in Iowa are using it.
I’ve been Twittering for about six months, more strongly so in the last three. My Twitter ID is @robcook. I found a short YouTube video that shows what Twitter is in plain English

Nice, sweet and short post! Think Twitter in Plain English did a better job of explaining Twitter than KCRG – but it could be the giggling anchors that distracted me. Let’s hope more Dubuque people join Twitter – DeMo, CR, and Iowa will be on their 3rd tweetup by the end of January!
Yeah, I’m hoping we get a few more tweeters in Dubuque. There’s been a few added lately, seem right around the time of the election, but a few of them have already dropped off. I’ll do what I can to expand the audience…Rob
