"Twouble with Twitter" - No, This Isn't an April Fools' Day Prank
I know it's April Fools' Day, but the video below actually was posted to Dailymotion a week ago. Which was about the time that Guy Kawasaki, the co-founder of Alltop.com, was giving his opening keynote at SES New York about "Twitter as a Tool for Social Media."
Since people are still Tweeting about Kawasaki's tips and tools, I figured that you might enjoy this as much as the Digg community seems to be, where it is called: "'Twouble with Twitter' - Hilarious Animation."
Twouble with Twitter

Great cartoon.
Started on Twitter after SES London 2009, and must say I can recognise a lot of the topics. Twitter can be pretty overwhelming in the beginning.

Yes, it can, Steen. Yes, it can.

I wonder how Guy Kawasaki is going to take Twitter putting an end to the auto-follow functionality on third party apps.

Like all marketers, he'll adjust. For example, how did link spammers adjust when nofollow was created in 2005?

Thanks for posting this vid, Greg. HILARIOUS!!!
I've already facebooked it and will tweet it as well. It hits spot on what my initial objections were/are to Twitter. But after hearing Guy Kawasaki's presentation at SES NY, I do believe Twitter has incredible marketing capabilities if you choose to use it in this fashion.
