This is yet another excuse for a real post. I guess I’ve been spending far too much time on twitter and neglecting kainvestor Blog. Six months of tweeting has seen me post over 1,000 tweets (not much compared to a few twitter gurus) ranging from simple links on business issues and other news to very personal tweets. And its proving to be addictive, that is if you find your self thinking in 140 characters constantly!
For those who have not yet discovered Twitter, it is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that enables users to send and read others' updates, simply known as tweets. Phenomenal if you ask me, but who am I to say.
Looking back at some of my tweets, I think I have loosened up a lot on the personal information front. Something that is not quite easy to do in a blog post here (Ask @PinkM with her new ‘serious’ blog). From following 251 tweeps, being followed by 330 of them (bless them all!) and 1,022 Updates, I’ve made great online friends.
I would highly recommend following @bankelele, @coldtusker, @kachwanya, @InvestingInAfrica @Alykhansachu and @moseskemibaro for some serious business insights. @Ayittey for a serious dose of Africa leadership reality. @kahenya @roomthinker, @ArcherMishale, @alfredmutua and @mwaikibaki for some funny tweets and my friends @michaelmusau and @teyie if you don’t mind not getting any updates from them.
Funny that no one really answers the one simple question, ‘what are you doing?' the guys at Twitter.com brain stormed and came up with.

Kai, I think its a truly democratic Platform and like Facebook these are Platforms that allow anyone to extend themselves way beyond any another Avenue. Its a pleasure to follow your tweets as well.

Sun Jul 05, 09:23:00 PM EATThe approach "should" be to use Twitter to serve your blog.
When you find that it becomes the opposite..trouble!
You can never have a meaningful discussion on Twitter..Many on Twitter literally cannot think beyond 140 characters..
lol!
So keep up the blog...we love reading it!
@Aly Khan pleasure to follow you too on twitter...and thanks for the great work you're doing @ Rich.co.ke
Mon Jul 06, 12:52:00 PM EAT@Cho Will take your advise seriously...I need to keep posting here.
I love twitter but sometimes I disappear for days on end due to work pressures. My work is mostly not at the desk so I can't work and twitter at the same time. But I love y'all.
Mon Jul 06, 03:47:00 PM EATSocial networks have provided a great means of communication and that has really changed the way information is being passed around in Kenya. For some strange reasons I no longer rely on the traditional media houses to get breaking news. Actually breaking news have become so much instant to the extent that media houses only come in to validate them. Thanks to the new media.
