...i don’t think twitter is either a waste of time or a marketing goldmine at all. it is intended for mostly down-time chit-chat diversion/fun/call-it-what-you-will, of no more than 140 characters, for crying out loud ...i, for one, have in many years of practice yet to come upon worthwhile legal work as a result howsoever of chit-chat, even with a solicitor/client i may never have met before ...indeed, there’s an overwhelmingly strong chance that i wouldn’t take up work thus derived

I look at Twitter some but I don’t “tweet” everyday on that site.I am interested in your thoughts on the Twiitter site though.
