Twitter is as simple as it gets. Tell everyone what you’re doing all the time, with a little bit of social networking thrown in. I tried Twitter and Twitterific a couple of weeks ago but after one tweet I completely forgot about it.
I think it might have been a lack of internet action today that drove me back to Twitter where I found some web pseudo-celebrities twitter accounts. After reading through a few of Paul Stamatiou’s, Dan Cederholm’s and John Gruber’s latest happenings I came to the conclusion that Twitter is slightly interesting. I don’t mean that in an “it’s actually really very interesting” way, it’s only just above not interesting.
Before Twitter, people might have called knowing what you’re doing all the time, “stalking”. Now people are going out of their way to tell absolutely everyone who wants to know. You don’t have to go far out of your way though, you can use their website, your mobile phone, IM or offline clients, they make it pretty easy and I’m sure that’s one of the reasons so many people use it.
I’m going to start again and see how long it lasts.
