LOS ANGELES—Twitter's founder says the Dalai Lama laughed at the thought of using the social networking service. But the Tibetan spiritual leader now has an official Twitter site—and more than 68,000 followers.
Twitter founder Evan Williams posted a message Sunday that he'd just met the Dalai Lama in Los Angeles and pitched using Twitter.

On Monday, a Twitter page set up by the Dalai Lama's office in India carried its first message. It mentioned that the Dalai Lama had been in L.A. and gave a Web site link for details.

Six other Tweets since then provide links to interviews, photos and webcasts.

So far, the Dalai Lama hasn't posted any personal messages.

dannysguitar I follow a few of you now :-)

[replicant_argent]

Does not, and will not. Facebook is creepy enough. I have no reason to inform people of minutiae. PBO twitters. Spastic 20-somethings twitter. Other people twitter. I have no interest in their twits, really.

[jmsremax]

I used it for 3 days thinking it would be cool to follow some financial and sport gurus but I didn't feel it was that great since I still go to ESPN and WSJ etc

[Mr.Erskine]

I follow Bill Simmons of ESPN.com... He's pretty entertaining.

[BengalMan]

Yup, I'm on there. OlivaIan

When it comes to tweets, I'm all thumbs.

I think much of the lack of understanding regarding Twitter relates to how people use it. If all you are using to connect to Twitter is the web interface, then you are missing about 90% of the content because you are only looking at the tweets of those you have chosen to follow and the trending topics.

A third-party app like TweetDeck or HootSuite is much more robust and allows far more functionality in terms of searches. As an example, I have a column that searches for all tweets with the word "cigar" in it. The tweet does not have to include the hash (#) tag to be included in the results. Thus, I can get comments like "Close but no cigar" just as easily as I get tweets from @TheCigarChick and @Bonitasmokeshop.

For those in business, the benefit of this type of search relates to what people are saying about the products your company sells, and not just the name of the product but your company's name as well. These types of keyword searches are also helpful if you want to do some competitive surveillance on your competition as well.

Certainly this isn't the end-all-be-all of Twitter, but hopefully it will give some ideas of how social media can be used. ... Just my $0.02.

[yellowgoat]

does this mean we are all a bunch of twits then?

i had stopped using twit for a long time because I couldn't remember my user name or password and the email account that i used was deleted. So, today i signed up again...

sincityjeff is my new one. i'll probably use twit so i can ***** about nothing when i'm out and about. :c :D
