Twitter

So far, my impressions:

  • It’s incredibly addictive. With the ability to update it via IM, text message or the web, it’s tempting to update it almost constantly.
  • I have absolutely no idea why anyone would want to hear about my life to this level of detail
  • There’s a pretty slick collection of widgets available to display your current twitter status on other websites. For example, check out the top of the right-hand column here to see my latest Twitter activity, plus a link to my page.

My next step in this experiment will likely be trying to find some detail on people who are twittering successfully in some way that’s interesting to follow.

Do you use Twitter? If so, what for? If not, what would you use it for?

That particular screen grab is from Deadspin. Wow, all kinds of exciting sports on tap tonight, eh?
