Account Executive, clickTRUE. Embrace technology, with a penchant for nifty (Apple) gadgets, social media, food and ... oh! shopping too! In between all that, I'd love to share my perspective as a newbie to this industry!

Whenever Im out painting the town red, I cant refrain from hitting the twitter app amongst the bevy of applications on my phone ever so often! Now that im armed with twitterfon, I can do away with all the additional news apps that I heavily rely on during my pre-twitter-days! Happy is me!

And guess wot! I recently converted a super ANTI-TWITTER friend of my mine to someone who’d paste me twitter links every now and then! Ha! The irony!

Be it following traditional news sources, or simply updates from Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference 2009 (better known as WWDC), the fastest and most efficient way would be to feed off each other’s updates — at no where else but twitter! It really saves SO much time! Social networking sites (like this one in particular) are some of the newest tools for individuals (like me and you) to use in news gathering and networking.
