Today Mark Ramskill (@ramskill) of SubHub and TalkContent takes a look at the amazing reach potential of Twitter, as a distribution mechanism.

These days ever increasing numbers of us are falling victim to information overload.

With a totally overwhelming number of sites and blogs on the web, all vying for our attention, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to both keep up and take part in ‘the conversation’.

While RSS feed readers have helped in many respects, with their ability to aggregate multiple sources and allow us to quickly assess what we want to read in more detail, there is still the inconvenience of having to find and add your own sites of interest and their corresponding feeds. There is also no means for immediate response or discussion.

Indeed those who think Twitter is about 'telling you're having breakfast' should think again. If you are a knowledge ' worker' and who isn't these days Twitter has great potential if you take it beyond the 'what are you doing' level.
