Using Twitter? Friend me up!

Apparently, Twitter is really starting to take off. I’ve been on it for about 6 months now, yapping away in to the twitter void. It’s got a tech heavy following, but over the past month or so, Twitter has really started to take off with the non-tech folks. Twitter can be many different things to many different people, which is why it’s so cool. I use Twitter in a few different ways:

  1. Throw-away blogging, it’s for the kind of things you don’t want laying around on your blog, archived for posterity sake, and picking up negative comments years later (example)
  2. It’s the best way to have any question imaginable answered promptly
  3. Kinda like a passive IM chat room or IRC channel, where you get to pick who’s messages you get to listen in on

Twitter is pretty bad ass and I just thought I’d put a post out there (mostly for the benefit of you rss headz). Friend me up, if you’re a twitterer.

I find it like walking a very crowded street fair. You get that shout out from a friend, then they are gone. You hear interesting conversations along the way. And occasionally someone pops up that you want to ignore.

i keep the people i’m following down to a minimum. i really only follow those people whose blogs i read on a daily basis and on/offline friends. right now, i’m only following 25 people and already finding that hard to manage. btw- i just realized that i wasn’t following you, so i had to change that.

I follow a little more than you do. I follow some people who may be posting django or rails related tidbits. Some of my Aperture friends and a few web-apps.
