Twitter is one of those things that a lot of people just don’t get. I didn’t either, but still signed up anyway. I’ve found already that I already use it more often than this bigger blog, mainly because the smaller message size forces you to write quick updates. It’s convenient like text messages, another technology that I didn’t get until I started using it. Essentially, it’s free text messaging with the added feature of broadcasting to a group of people.
There are quite a few clients available, too. On my Windows Mobile phone I’ve been using the standard m.twitter.com, which works more than well enough. On my desktop, I generally use Twittget, which works as a Vista sidebar gadget. Very convenient (the sidebar idea in general is) and it doesn’t create more tray icons. It notifies me of new messages in the gadget itself, and with a bird tweet sound.
If any of my 3 readers whom I aleady haven’t told about it wish to add me, check out my profile at Twitter. I’ll be looking into how I can integrate it with the front page somehow in the near future.
