I see Twitter as a particularly robust research platform--as a way to both share and aggregate knowledge in a variety of areas. For an example of Twitter as a knowledge sharing platform, I recommend having a look at WestPeter's Twitter stream, a collection of peer-reviewed academic journal articles and books in knowledge management and a variety of other areas. If your interests involve social network analysis, I highly recommend following Valdis Krebs. For commentary on technology and world events, one would do well to follow the author of this very post, @godsdog.Finally, if you have an interest in higher education, professional or technical communication, rhetoric and writing studies, and ubiquitous computing, you might follow the Rhetoric and Writing Studies Program at UTEP, and Brian McNely (that's me!).

If you're looking to get into social media, then definitely give Twitter a try, because it's one of the fastest, easiest ways to get involved. Plus, there are already plenty of people on Twitter discussing just about everything there is to discuss, so with a little searching (try http://search.twitter.com/) you can follow your way to a fantastic community of people that will be talking about the things you enjoy talking about, and you'll be hooked in no time!
