After the LinkedIn and Facebook phenomena, here comes Twitter. When the short process of account creation is done, you can start writing small "posts" of maximum 140 characters. Twitter is a kind of micro-blogging platform.

It is somehow between the blog and the chat. You can discuss a topic, and people can answer to your tweets. If you like someone's topics, you can follow him. You will then discover all the people he follows and the ones following him. You can of course then connect with all these people.

If you want to give Twitter a try, here is a list of data miners on Twitter. I have also mentioned their blog or company when available:
