Looking through the Web 2.0 Award winners, I have to say Twitter is pry one of my favorites. I have had an account since this past spring and find that's it's a great way to keep up with the world. It's just like a facebook home page, minus all of the annoying app updates. I follow DBRL's account and have actually ran out the door to one of their events when I saw it posted on Twitter.
While I personally know a decent amount of the followers on my page, most of the people I keep track of are other dancers and writers. It's the perfect window into their everyday lives, giving me a realistic perspective on how to achieve my career goals. One of my favorites, Princess Farhana (an internationally known professional bellydancer), keeps her followers updated on everything, from her shows and tours to how much glitter she gets all over her house and cats from all of her costuming. She's even responded to questions I've posted to my general list about how to deal with charley horses and book suggestions. Twitter brings those people that you only dream about meeting to a down to earth reality. Twitter is an amazing site for networking with others in your profession and I highly recommend it!
