The power of Twitter in collaboration. There is power in serendipity. I don’t know how many twits I’ve seen that are stimulating, rewarding or just bring you closer to others working most often out of a home office. I feel similarly about the Facebook toolbar. I learn about all sorts of recent crisis via Twitter, fire in Ca, Hurricane Dean, SkypeOutage etc.
