So what is a "BioTweet". It is a way I introduce all who follow me to a fellow Twitterer by tweeting the content of his/her Twitter bio.
Here is what happens when I biotweet:
Some biotweeted ME!
loopy2cute bio of @SofiaMiller Focus on fitness + personal development. Avid student of sustainability + communities. Right back at ya! :)
Some biotweeted OTHER PEOPLE (making me a trendsetter once again)
Budjette Bio of @dbgrady "Novelist, freelance writer and columnist. Former US Army paratrooper and war vet. New father and really tired" :-)

And then some gave me direct feedback
IHospitalitySam@SofiaMiller Hey Sofia - how is your Saturday night? Still diggin' the bio posting idea.
RishiTalreja @SofiaMiller You do a nice thing by including the bio of people you recommend..more people should start doing that :)
From today's flurries of biotweeting:
dcoakley@SofiaMiller What did I do to deserve such a nice gesture? A 'biotweet'... nice.
from @dawizonline
@SofiaMiller TY 4 your Tweeting my Bio Sofia. I am now following you as a direct result. Please visit http://syt.ePublic8.com :o)
from @Manchuriano
@SofiaMiller thank's Sofia you're awesome ;)
I got lots of thank you's.
I think this is a great way to build community, familiarity and more cross linkages, cross polinations, more interconnectedness. I will continue to use this at random AND to rave about someone whose tweets I particularly enjoy like Rishi or Matai...both make me laugh out loud. It's great.
What do you think about BioTweets? Do you use them?

Sofia, your idea is HUGE and is very original and, as you said, trend setting.
I can see why a lot of others don't use your method. No offence intended, but they are L-A-Z-Y!It's easier for people to ReTweet than create their own BioTweet.
Maybe you don't advertise it enough? Maybe something for you to think about. :o)
Keep up your FANTASTIC efforts.Recognition is just around the corner. ;o)
I like it there is a similar thing that was mentioned coupled with #followfriday tweets where you mention the tweep to follow then tell why with a short descriptive of what they tweet like. I like both ideas, it helps you get to know the people who you follow on a more one to one level.
Fabulous idea, wish I'd come up with it! LOL Thanks again, Sofia - you really are a trendsetter. It's a more comprehensive #followfriday. Hope it gets picked up - would like to see it in trending topics soon!
