SUCCESS
SUCCESS
TO LAUGH OFTEN AND MUCH, TO WIN THE RESPECT OF INTELLIGENT PEOPLE
AND THE AFFECTION OF CHILDREN; TO EARN THE APPRECIATION OF HONEST
CRITICS AND ENDURE THE BETRAYAL OF FALSE FRIENDS; TO APPRECIATE BEAUTY,
TO FIND THE BEST IN OTHERS; TO LEAVE THE WORLD A BIT BETTER, WHETHER BY
A HEALTHY CHILD, A GARDEN PATCH OR A REDEEMED SOCIAL CONDITION; TO KNOW
EVEN ONE LIFE HAS BREATHED EASIER BECAUSE YOU HAVE LIVED.
THIS IS TO HAVE SUCCEEDED.

Why Tribes use Twitter Best and Most
Here is a great article that illustrates why Twitter works best for communities or tribes.
http://www.statepress.com/2010/03/30/know-your-internet-twitter/
Twitter, after all, was created to communicate among the founders; Jack Dorsey, Evan Williams, and Biz Stone, to create a really simple status updating system that could be updated through text messages.
Excerpt from article:
Twitter is what you make of it. If you find and are active in a community (tribe) using Twitter then that’s where it’s real fun and usefulness become fun. In 2009, 60% of Twitter users quit within the first month (Source), while 21% of users have never posted a tweet (Source). Twitter users leaving and quitting can be attributed to a multitude of reasons from lack of understanding, to not seeing the value in the site, or, as what I view most is important, not having a community to interact with. So if you are going to try out Twitter try to find multiple places where you can connect and meet users.
Twitter, like Facebook and other social networks, allows people to form communities and share information with one another. Unlike Facebook, Twitter can be boiled down to text and hyperlinks which can then be brute-forced into sharing pictures, local trends, and all other types of content. Twitter at it’s core is still just 140 characters, but through a community of dedicated users new functionality was created.

Time to Weigh Anchor?
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the
things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw
off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade
winds in your sails. Explore, Dream, Discover." - Mark Twain.
