Twittering

twitterbanner.pngI've started Twittering.

Seems like a lot of other people are doing the same thing. Some people think it's a colossal waste of time. I think it's yet another thing I can fuck about with, to stop my mind from overheating.

A lot of people who have described Twitter as a load of crap have stated that they don't need to know when people they don't even know are eating a bowl of cereal, leaving work, getting into their car or whatever. Me, I see it as just another blog-thingy, like Flickr mo'blogging or whatever. Someone might see a truck crashing into a river, and update their Twitter via text, and then snap a photo and mo'blog it up on their Flickr. That's pretty cool, I think. Some say it's NOT "web 2.0", but I think it is. I see the phrase "web 2.0" as representing any aspect of the web which is shareable, writable, embeddable, etc. Twitter is all of these things. Plus it couldn't be easier to use.

Now, you may not care what I thought of CSI last night, of that I finally cracked Wii Sports Baseball. If you don't, then don't subscribe. Don't read. But if you want to her the occasional funny observation that people (like me) CBATB, or perhaps read a 140 character message about a huge news story, written by a random stranger, then Twitter is for you.

I'm going to give it a try until I get bored with it, or until it changes the world (I reckon the former is the more likely outcome).

I'm currently in the "pile of wank" camp.

But when they add in support for photos and video clips.. THEN it'll really take off...

Maybe.

You mean, like a blog...

I'm sure that the photo and video support thing is only just around the corner.

And currently D, it's not quite as easy to blog as it is to Twitter. When I can blog in 5 seconds, via text and/or IM, I may leave Twitter behind.

And if that doesn't happen (soon), I'll be content using Twitter to, well, twitter. And then there's the whole community-based aspect to the whole thing.
