Tip of the Week: Search the Twittersphere for real-time advice
Twitter continues to grow in popularity and it continues to confuse most everyone that has not joined the community, so here is another way to make use of the Twittersphere: getting recommendations on a product that you are interested in buying.
The Internet is filled with websites that offer customer reviews and feedback on virtually anything that would like to buy, but the reviews are 'static' in nature, so you can't ask additional questions of the reviewer.
Here is an example of how you might use Twitter the next time you are researching a product: Let's say you were interested in the new Nikon D90 SLR because it's the first to include HD video capabilities. You can go to http://search.twitter.com
and type Nikon D90 in to see every 'tweet' that had the phrase in it.&nbs
