Today as on every day, I conducted my usual social media time wasting activities before getting down to work. One of my daily activities is to check what’s going on in the twitterverse (i.e. the world of twitter). Many of you have probably heard of twitter, but have no clue what it is. Fear not, you are not alone. Twitter is a place where people “microblog,” which means that you can post there, but your posts cannot be longer than 140 characters. You can follow people, and then you see what they’re saying, and people can follow you. Sounds like a waste of time? It can be, depending on how you use it, but I think this story will show you how it can be useful.

Here’s a short video that hopefully can give you a better idea of what twitter is all about:

Anyways, included in the 125 people that I follow on twitter is Guy Kawasaki, who writes the excellent How to Change the World blog, and founded and manages Alltop.com, a very useful site that collects content from around the web on various topics. (He also does tons of other stuff including venture capital, authoring books, etc.)

ANYWAY, I logged in to twitter and saw that Guy had just created a new Alltop page for Israel. I wrote to him on twitter and asked him if he could add israelplug…and he did! So now we are featured on the Israel Alltop page. Assuming that a lot of people visit the Alltop site, that means good traffic and links for israelplug. Hurray!

On another topic, but an important one for hockey fans, Guy also mentioned that he played hockey with an Israeli, and even has an Israeli hockey jersey! Well, who ever heard of an Israeli hockey jersey, so I asked him to see a picture of it.  Here it is:
