Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing? "Twitter, as applied to business (aka 37signal's Backpack Journal)" likens the Backpack Journal to the popular tool.
A lot of people don’t get Twitter. A lot. They ask me why I love it, use it, and why I tweet so much. I think it’s one of those things that you have to do in earnest in order to appreciate, but I think this screenshot of 37signal’s Backpack Journal is a great illustration of the Twitter principle, as applied to business.What if you could see what everyone was doing, without having to ask? Exactly.
