checked Twitter out

It’s a neat little site, basically for just updating people on what you are doing. Think a website of just facebook status updates. You can follow people, celebrities for example. I’m only following one person, the great George R.R. Martin  (author and screenwriter). I think he just signed up for the site and doesn’t really use it though because he doesn’t update his status.

A bad thing I noticed was that the site does get overloaded sometimes and times out.

I did find a good use for it though, wordpress has a widget for Twitter which updates my status on my blog, which I cleverly titled on the sidebar as “what i’m doing now”. I’m pretty sure I can do it through my cell phone too, I don’t know yet because I haven’t set it up for mobile device…planning on doing that sometime in the near future.

Twitter

What exactly is Twitter? I keep hearing about it the last couple of weeks. Just in the past few days I have learned that Twitter is the #3 ranked social networking site behind Facebook and Myspace. I guess Jennifer Aniston broke up with John Mayer because he spent 30 hours on Twitter when he told her he was too busy to talk. Again I ask, what the  hell is Twitter and why should I care?

If it’s more important that Jennifer Aniston I really get the feeling that’s it’s something I should look into, even if just for a minute. But I already have a Myspace (which I only really use now for the application games) and facebook (which I use quite often to see what all my friends are up too), do I really have the time and energy for another social application?
