Twitter is my water cooler
Friday Apr 03, 2009
I work in Sun's web engineering group where we live and breathe the web. The group is based in the Bay Area but also has staff across the US and in England, Czech Republic, and Sweden. About a year and a half ago, folks in our group started to use Twitter at the urging of Rama, Linda, and Will (da boss).
I'm the only person on our team in the US Northeast. I've found that since I started using twitter, I have learned more about my coworkers than I ever could have with other, less instant, online collaboration. I know when a coworker is having a tough day (car issue, sick kid, etc.). Twitter is my water cooler. Believe it or not, Twitter also has work related benefits. I've learned about new technologies and seen tweets about coworkers accomplishments that I wouldn't see in my day to day job. One drawback? This poor blog is lonely.
