"Twittering" in Enterprise - 2

After one year of micro-blogging in our department, I brought Russian style "hard bagels" to celebrate . Point of celebration? Micro-blogging in work environment with only 30-35 potential participants is useful, and after one year and about 900 posts, still alive :-)
See my blog post about this: http://pnt-blog.blogspot.com/2008/05/twittering-in-enterprise.html

Actually, there were other goals. "Hard bagels" have been served in floor kitchen, so people from other departments could enjoy them. Also I was curious how many people (if any) would ask us about our "twitter".

Hour or so later unexpected things started to happen - posts directly on the bagel box.
First post: "IGNORING". Ignoring "Hard bagels"? I don't think so - they were pretty tasty. Ignoring our "twitter"? Ignoring whole idea of sharing? OK......
A little bit later - second post. Link to one of the Beatnik Turtle songs, probably somehow related to the fact of ignorance :-)

I think it's just great that people had something to express about the subject.
This IGNORING individual actually has not ignored :-) . He/she POSTED something to let others know about his/her opinion, whatever opinion is.... :-)

Going back to my goals: one person from other departments asked for access to our "twitter".
