You know those late night infomercials for “Hits of the 80’s” and “Smooth Soul” and other compilation CDs? They play just a tiny snippet of the song and move on to the next snippet while a bunch of titles and artists from the melodic past scrolls through the screen. I love that! It makes everyone else crazy but that’s how I listen to the radio. I watch TV like that, too.
Yesterday, I followed a link on Alltop (great site, by the way) to this article called “Describing Twitter in Plain English” at The Cranking Widgets Blog. At first, I thought, “Why would I want to broadcast the mundane little details of my life?” Well, after watching the little video, I decided to give it a try. It’s kind of fun! It’s perfect for attention deficit disorder me! Short–no more than 140 letters at a time. It’s interesting to read little blurbs of people’s day.
True, it’s not very productive (it’s filed under “distractions, practical, technology”) but it is entertaining . . . at least it is for now. There’s a Twitter thingy in the left column. Go sign up so I can stalk, just kidding, I mean follow you!
EDIT: The Twitter Badge is in the right column now.

The biggest problem I have is figuring out how to find people I know. They don’t have a good search engine for that. I’m going to try to figure this out. I’ve been Twittering for a bit and so far what I like is that I can text messages to it when I’m in a cab and bored.

I hear ya! I found a few people and I know there must be more out there. I saw the Twitter box on your site and added you. The other thing is that not every one is interested in this type of short but sweet format. Fits me perfectly, though!
