Twitter - Far Far More Than Social Networking via Davy Mitchell's Meandering Weblog April 9th, 2008 at 20:38

There's been a fair bit of blogging about Twitter and people 'getting it' or not. Sure, it is a great networking site and far more fun than the likes of Bebo but that's not Twitters strength which lies in its API which makes a great platform. ... [211 words]...

Twitter. via On the outside looking in. March 16th, 2007 at 11:28

I don’t get Twitter. I just don’t. I didn’t get it the first time I saw it. I don’t get it now. I probably won’t ever get it. Clearly, I’m not down with the cool kids. I’m not the only one who doesn’t like it. I do see a certain nicety in knowing what people are doing on a moment-by-moment basis, but it’s pure novelty. People like information, people like to know what other people are doing. It’s natural, then, that we quickly attach ourselves to something like Twitter. But I do think interest in Twitter will wane. Why? Mainly because it actually does take a bit of effort to take part in something so fleeting. To keep Twitter going, you have to have a sort of a dialogue. It’s main target seems to be the office crowd. People...

Work-buddy Matt signed up, and almost immediately changed my mind. Unlike MySpace there is no shit on Twitter, it just text, and short text at that, you can post via IM (that's Google-Talk for the uninitiated), by text message, on the Twitter web-site or through an API (again that's a nerd thing)—what more could a boy want? So I signed up, found a few friends and got a few others to sign-up too. I now love it so much that I've added it to my footer of this very web-site so you can catch up with me on a much more personal level, and at more regular...
