Thoughts On Twitter

I’ve been using Twitter for not quite a month now and I have to say I like the microblogging idea.  When one doesn’t have time for this real blogging stuff, it’s a great way to keep in touch and communicate.

I like:

  • Easily staying in touch with my friends
  • Asking questions and getting quick answers
  • Seeing what topics people I know are interested in
  • The fact that I have it linked to everything.  I can call Jott, post to my blog, which posts to twitter, which posts to Facebook.  Overconnectivity?  Probably.  But it’s cool.

I dislike

  • The fact that their server has down time every couple days.  Buy more servers, guys.
  • The random spam people that follow you for no reason - they don’t even have a website that talks about what I talk about in my status updates.

So there we go - quick review of Twitter. Take care.
