Twitter

OK, I’ve resisted Twitter for a long time now because I really don’t need one more website to have to update and I haven’t been able to get my mind around what the difference is between a blog and Twitter.  I think I finally get it.  Beyond the social networking aspect of Twitter, which is good enough reason to use it, I’ve always felt like if I was going to bother to write a blog entry there ought to be enough to it to explain my opinion fully.  Twitter isn’t like that, With Twitter it’s all about short, in fact you’re only allowed 140 characters in an individual post. 

I also like the fact that I can write a Twitter post (I refuse to call it a ‘tweet’) from my Blackberry with Twitterberry.  I need to figure out how to embed my Twitter posts in here too and in the other blog I’m thinking about starting.  More about that later… maybe.  But Twitter could play a part in that project too. 

Anyway, especially for you guys who have been bloggers and dropped out because you were having problems coming up with something to say regularly, maybe Twitter is your thing, bring our attention to things and places around the web and keep us updated on what sucks in your life without needing to write a full-blown post about it. 

Twitter:  I think I kind of like it.  My Twitter page.
