For people new to the concepts of social media and reviewing their tool set, is Twitter a good choice as a tool?

Interestingly, one of the people who connected to me suggested we might want to do the same on Facebook and Twitter. However, this is not really the case with the way I use Facebook and Twitter. In Twitter, I have people that I follow in order to listen into their conversation. This really got me thinking. Does that sound bad?

I ran into a post about Using Twitter at Work. I expected it to be about how to use twitter as a knowledge worker. If you are working for a company that falls in the first category (no social media please), its better that you install a Twitter mobile app on your cell phone and not use the office computer at all for tweeting.

For example, if you build something that integrates with Facebook, Twitter, etc. If you can integrate with Facebook, Twitter, or similar products and you have some kind of viral aspect, then that could make you more interesting. And if you are able to use it with twitter, Facebook, etc. Islands have a hard time making it.
