Anybody Twittering?

[Kat McCarthy]

I've been using Twitter for just over a week now and it is way fun!! It is simple enough that it doesn't take hardly any extra away from social networking while also adding a whole huge dimension to social networking.

I am looking for more people to follow so if you twitter, look me up and post your user name here so others can find you. :-)

I look forward to getting to know everyone in an even bigger way!

I've heard about Twitter, but don't know much about it. What is it exactly?

I just checked but I don't really get what it does?

It's actually a pretty nifty way to relationship with people really fast without having to put too much effort into it. It is almost a combination of chat and forums.

The friends list is called 'follow' so your friends are people you are 'following' and if you are on their friends list they are your 'follower.'

Once you sign up, you are asked to update what you are doing so I would just type in 'going surfing' or whatever and hit enter. It's like micro posting as you only get 140 characters per post. It's a great way to let people know about blog posts or whatever you are doing on line you want people to know about. The more often you post (or tweet as it's called) the more interesting you are to people.

Everyone who is following you will be able to see that you are going surfing.
You can see what everyone who you are following is doing.

It's simple, it's fun and it's being promoted by the media as the next 'must have' web 2.0 application for anyone trying to build anything on line.

There isn't much to learn. It took me 5 minutes to figure out how to use the basics. Join me, you will probably really enjoy it. :-)
