Riddle me this…
It has tweeters, but no woofers.
It’s totally where it’s “@”.
Brevity isn’t just recommended. It’s required.
Give up? I’m talking about the Twitter service. You know, the website that gives you 140 characters to “tweet” what you’re up to, what your latest thoughts are, or why exactly you hate pot-holes.
What? You don’t know what I’m talking about? Well, that seems to be the problem. A lot of people who I ask about it have no idea what I’m talking about, which is kind of a shame, because I kind of like the idea of Twitter. It’s like only having to read and write status updates on Facebook without having to duck the latest “Shmoopsy threw a llama at you”, or “Mandy challenged you to a movie quiz”, or “Johnny joined the group Fans of Facebook Fans”. (Honestly, I think 90% of Facebook is spam, these days, but that’s another story.)
Like I said, the problem is nobody I’m aware of seems to know much about it, which is too bad, because that means that I’m not following too many people, and vice versa, which, of course results in very little reason for me to keep my Twitter updates current.
Anybody here actually use Twitter? What do you think about it?
Anybody just been dying to try it? Let me know. I may not follow you just anywhere, but odds are, I’ll follow you on Twitter.

Write a Comment»I rather enjoy twitter. It has helped me to learn how to phrase things. 140 characters is not much sometimes and I have learned how to reword things. I also have developed some friendships on the service and like it very much.

Brevity does seem to be a learned trait – one I could certainly use some practice at. You should also notice “kenth3″ following you – that’s me.

Sounds fun! My favorite part of facebook is the status updates too. I think I’ll try it out.
