Twitter

I have been using the service for a little while now and I have been finding it more and more useful. As kids (I can’t really talk, I’m only 24) are texting quicker and quicker with their mobile phones, the geeks among us have taken this long established medium and turned it into an internet application, texting friends you have never met. Who knew that keeping the world and his dog updated on what you had for dinner, where you are flying to and your opinion on OpenID could be so fun?

One thing I have found is how useful it is to send “Tweets” to Social Media websites. I have sent questions and points to Mixx on their Twitter page and had responses in under an hour, something an email to technical support would result in an extra day of waiting for a response.

I messaged Disgby, notifying them that they didn’t advertise anywhere on their site that they supported Twitter in their application. A few minutes later:

It can be tedious documenting things on there, that’s a given. However, now there are so many ways to add Tweets to Twitter like FriendFeed, Digsby, Thwirl and of course via the web and txt message, you can stay updated and hear news faster than your usual channels of communication.

I’ll get bored and get rid of it soon no doubt but for now it’s all a bit of good harmless fun.

    I like you last sentence here – I'll get bored and get rid of it soon – I often wonder how many of the new trendy services will stay and how many vanish as the fickle web user moves onto the next cool app! Makes predictions at the end of the year a bit easier though:)

    This is a smart blog. I mean it. You have so much knowledge about this issue, and so much passion. You also know how to make people rally behind it, obviously from the responses. Youve got a design here thats not too flashy, but makes a statement as big as what youre saying. Great job, indeed.
