Anyone use Twitter?

http://twitter.com

I'm actually quite addicted to this now - even though it's essentially featureless, it's a great little micro-blogging platform!

ah crap - mine's got swearing on, I just realised!! still - what's yours?

I've signed up and used it about 5 times, thought it a bit too extreme!

Do people actually read/care about your "twitters" or do you just do it for personal e-peen reasons?

What if it's to keep friends updated.

Its basically the same as facebook's "is" thing. but you can download an app or have it spam your mobile each time someone updates.

Signed up, just to get my username

Sic · 12 Jan 2008 at 10:48

I don't know if anyone reads it - it's the same with my blog, I don't do it for an audience but it'd be nice if someone were reading

You have to be quite interesting if you expect people to read it...

G|mp · 12 Jan 2008 at 13:22

Bit sad all this tbh

bigredshark · 12 Jan 2008 at 13:45

I think it's an interesting concept, I don't see the point in getting people from forums to follow you though.

The whole point for me is it tells friends and colleagues where I am and what I'm up to....it might be handy for my friends to know I was visiting a customer in brighton so they could say 'hey, lets have a coffee' if they were around and it might be handy for colleagues to know where I was easily.

Thats why I find it interesting, it's exactly like facebook's status updates but more immediate. I reckon it's only useful for people you actually know though..
