#1 Reason to Buy an Amazon Kindle

The other day I wrote a post about seven reasons to buy a Kindle from Amazon.  Today I’m adding one more reason to the list – and as far as I’m concerned it’s the most important reason of all.

You As a Brand vs. A Popularity Contest vs. Just Plain You (Twitter)

I’ve been on Twitter for (logs on to personal twitter account and looks at history) for four months and nine days as of today.  So even though I wasn’t an early adopter to the service, I definitely have been on for long enough to as where I am really starting to see some trends in use and misuse of Twitter.
