One of the cool things about Twitter is the connections that you make. People you’d possibly otherwise miss or never know can become either friends or close contacts.
Two people I’ve come to know over the last 6-8 months are Kris Reyes and Dave Fleet.
Kris is a news reporter for CityTV in Toronto, and is one of the station’s key people in the social media space. She understands the medium and encourages the station’s viewers to become more involved.
Dave Fleet is a guy I respect immensely and one of the leading lights in the Toronto social media, PR and communications scene. As one of the guys behind Podcamp Toronto and more, he knows his stuff.
Today, these two met on Kris’s news show and discussed Twitter and its growing popularity and acceptance. If you’re curious about the whole Twitter explosion, here’s your chance to find out why it does what it does.
Oh, and for some reason, they let me join in the fun too. Hope you enjoy.

Awesome! Would have been great if your connection had been a bit more clear. =)
Yes. Yes indeed. Me and Skype still have a love/hate relationship. But Dave was good, no?
Yes, quite excellent.
Great stuff, sir! You and Ashton get to celebrate on the same day!
This Ashton fellow you refer to. He is who?
From what I understand he was in a movie called: “Dude, Where’s My Car”.
Danny Brown introduces a video taken from CityNews Toronto which discusses Twitter. The video, an interview which features Brown himself alongside blogger Dave Fleet, is an interesting look at the Twitter platform, highlighting a number of significant recent events of note. The video is a good resource for anyone new to Twitter, and provides a good deal of insight.

Danny, it has just occurred to me that having being speaking to you for about six months now, that’s the first time I have actually heard you speak! Crazy. A good little video though which covers most of the main points of Twitter. Could be a good one to point out for anyone that is new to the Twitter arena?
