			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Ever since <em><a href="http://twitter.com/sendboyle">Senator Dan Boyle</a></em> forced Willie O&#8217;Dee&#8217;s resignation with <em><a href="http://twitter.com/">Twitter</a></em></strong>, the Irish business community have suddenly started to take note. <strong>Nearly every day I get asked &#8220;<em>What is this Twitter thing? And who&#8217;s using it?</em>&#8220;</strong></p>
<p>Well the <strong>10 billionth entry (commonly referred to as a Tweet) recently went up on Twitter</strong>. Below is a graph showing the <strong>dramatic rise in the use of <em><a href="http://twitter.com/">Twitter</a></em>. Note how high Ireland is on the list of regions.</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.google.com/trends?q=twitter.com"><img class="size-full wp-image-296 alignnone" style="border: 1px solid black; margin: 2px 10px;" title="TrendsTwitter" src="http://blog.glasgorman.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/TrendsTwitter1.jpg" alt="Twitter on Google Trends" width="480" height="260" /></a></p>
<p>So now we know that Twitter is popular, who uses Twitter? Well you would be suprised to know that <strong>most<a href="http://twitter.com/"> <em>Twitter</em> </a>users are over 30. That&#8217;s the age profile of most of the business owners in Ireland.</strong></p>
<p><img class="alignnone" style="border: 1px solid black; margin: 2px 10px;" title="Age distribution of Twitter Users" src="http://www.marketingcharts.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/comscore-twitter-age-distribution-users-april-2009.png" alt="Age distribution of Twitter Users" width="585" height="376" /></p>
<p>While Facebook and Bebo are favoured by the younger age group,<strong> the business community has adopted<em> <a href="http://twitter.com/">Twitter</a></em>.</strong></p>
<p>So now that you know that you should be using Twitter, where do you start. Here is a simple guide from <em><strong><a href="http://www.yourtechstuff.com/">Adrian Wreckler</a></strong></em> on how to start using Twitter.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I attended the weekly meeting of the <strong>BNI Gorey Chapter, BNI Falcon</strong> (substituting for<em> <a href="http://www.cadamedia.ie/index.php"><strong>Dave Jordan, Cada Media, Web Designers</strong></a></em>). While the Gorey chapter is relative small they are very active and I was pleasantly surprised at the range and quality of Business Services offered by the members. If you are a business in the North Wexford area and are interested in a Business Networking Group that will help you grow your business then you could do a lot worse than getting  involved with the BNI Gorey Chapter.</p>
<p>They can be found on Twitter at<a href="http://twitter.com/bnifalcon"> <em><strong>http://twitter.com/bnifalcon</strong></em></a>, send them a Direct Message if you want to find out more.</p>
