Twitter Much?
I contemplated about putting this under the Business Section but I figured it would get moved.
Either way Twitter has become and is still developing into a great way to promote yourself and business, with a collaboration between twitter and facebook I have booked a couple shoots.
Oh, and, of course its fun!
Do you have a twitter? do you even know what twitter is? Post your account here.

Never used Twitter, it looks like a stripped down Facebook?

I tried Twitter, but after one week, I found keeping up with it on my cell phone meant it dying before noon with the amount of comments twitter users add. IMO it seemed to be a bit more like instant messaging. I'm sure its a good source for keeping people informed, but it seems of the 16 or so people I had on my list, more than 75% used it like a chat IM.
Using the strictly online version was interesting though. I agree it seemed kind of fun, but again, seems many use it as a chat IM vs strictly status updates and the status updates.
Please don't think Im bashing it, it is an interesting idea and I notice many people use it=)

Man, I don't care who uses Twitter, but personally I just can't see the point. I do enjoy their website; the part that tries to convince you that you need Twitter. This is my favorite line:
Eating soup? Research shows that moms want to know.
Yeah. People want to know that I am eating soup. Thanks to this, I emailed my mom directly and told her I am eating soup. No response. Thanks to Twitter, I now know that my mother doesn't love me.
This line wasn't very convincing either.
Running late to a meeting? Your co–workers might find that useful.
Um... if you are running late, and you have your phone, if the meeting hasn't started, then call THEM or text THEM. If the meeting already started, they already know.
Partying? Your friends may want to join you.
At first, this makes sense to me, but then I think, if they are your real friends, they probably knew you were going to a party unless it was a surprise party thrown by another friend that didn't like those friends, and then they don't need to go anyway. And if you are just a drunk 'partying', your friends already know you are the bar.
And this line is just funny:
Twitter puts you in control and becomes a modern antidote to information overload.
How in the hell can they say joining a social network where people are constantly updating mundane day-to-day activities and adding comments is an antidote to information overload? To me, Twitter seems like the overload.
But if other people enjoy it, then it's cool. I could see a business using it, maybe. When I have a cable installation coming between 9am and 5pm, I would like that bastard to Twitter around 3 o'clock so I can see which Denny's he is taking a nap at.
The next incarnation of this service will probably be more useful to everyone in general.
Also, I'm not responsible enough to have this kind of updating power. My Twitter updates would read like
Jan 14, 2009 10:41am I'm on toilet! Wish luck!
Jan 14, 2009 11:23am Still on toilet! No F'N tissue!
Jan 14, 2009 12:31pm C'mon, bring some TP!
Jan 14, 2009 5:04 pm Help? Anyone?
Somewhere in there would be a comment attached where someone was offering to come help. Then I would just lose a friend. But gain a 'closer friend'.
I guess the real 'benefit' of Twitter is that it makes you feel like you are important because other people care that you are shopping at Kroger at that moment, or driving to the post office, or slicing a cucumber, or whatever.

I think we are connected to our friends and family too much as it is. If I don't answer my phone for a day people think I'm dead, its getting out of hand. In no way shape or form will i ever use twitter. Sometimes you just gotta turn off your phone, you cant be connected to everyone you know 24/7.

I dont of many people who use twitter as another reliable source of communication to relay a message to a friend or family member.

Scotty, I'm not trying to criticize you for joining. Personally, I don't see the need and I happen to find their website sales pitch to be entertaining. That's about it. It seems like a new toy that most people would tire of after a few weeks. If you like it, have at it.
Although, after an extensive Googling of Twitter content, this was the best that I came up with:
