It brings a bit of the office social scene back into my life. As someone who works from home, I’ve met many colleagues in my field that I might not have had a chance to before.

I have found Twitter to be a great tool for connecting to others in my industry, including competitors. It's great to be able to share ideas and best practices, creating a friendly environment. We're competitors but we're also now friends. Great points! I have found Twitter to be a great tool for connecting to others in my industry, including competitors.

I'm fairly new to twitter and this is something that I have been observing myself. There are some great ideas that are being bounced around and shared among like minded people. I like your outlook on competitors actually being more like friends working at competitive companies. Thanks for the insightful post. -Jack Great point about the thinning of barriers between competitors. I’m fairly new to twitter and this is something that I have been observing myself.

At least now their audience can see them communicate right there in front of everyone. i think before sites like Twitter competitors really had no communication links besides phone and email.

I think it's great that other networks are our Twitter/Linked In friends, and we're theirs! We support each other in a healthy competition kind-of way.

I make it my point to try and connect with competitors in the same space who have a similar job function as I do. I think it's good to nurture that relationship and even bounce ideas off of them. : ) @Csalomonlee I agree with you 100%.
