Twitter - community blog - sort of

Has anyone ever tried Twitter? It's this sort of blogging site with your friends. You basically post what you are up to during the day, night ,etc. Kind of a neat idea, but I'm trying to decide if I need another web distraction right now. Check it out and my profile here if you want:

Yeah it looks cool but I already have a blog space and like you said Rico I don't think I have the time to update another thing.. between my website, blog and this forum.. doesn't leave much free time.

It looks interesting.

I have a vox account, which is along the same lines but I do not have the time to put into vox right now along with everything else going on in my life.

Yeah - I know how you guys feel. I'm just kind of playing around with it right now.

I've always been a livejournal fan myself.
I use it in conjunction with my own blog/website (powered by Wordpress) so that when I post there it gets automatically cross posted to my LJ.

Twitter is becoming more and more fun! I find it helps kind of make me organize my day a bit too. Check it out - if you haven't already.

Still using this fun new tool. Kind of fun to post little snippets each day on it....

Hey Rico! How does this thing work exactly? Is it like a blog? I've been reading about it all over the internets but I can't figure oout how it works. I think I'll register and see.

Rico · March 15, 2007, 07:12:03 AM

All it is basically is a rolling public blog. Everyone that signs up (for free) can post little snippets about what they are up to during their day. Kind of a quick way to stay in touch, etc. It's kind of cool and fun. Several big shots are on it too - from the Tech area, some politicians, web folks, etc. You can add friends that you follow and it will update and show you just their posts or you can watch the overall public timeline that shows everyone's posts. Check it out sometime and be sure to post your user id here so I can add you as a friend.

Here's an article in the Wall Street Journal on Twitter:

Well, I just signed up. I don't get the time I would like to keep on the forums for long but it's cool to see what your friends are doing throughout the day and It's very addictive. I'm following Rico and it's so cool. Come join in and please and me on twitter.com/TimMorris.
Hope to see you there.

Glad to see you have joined us Twitter'ers. I'll make sure to add you as a follower Tim.

Thanks Rico. It's pretty addictive isn't it? Once you start, and then you want more follwers. I'd be grateful if you did add me. Cheers again. Come on guys, any others?
