With everyone always yapping and blogging about Twitter, I decided to create a profile and see what all the hype is about. Honestly, I don't see it as being as "friendly" as Groovr (disclosure: I did work for Groovr for some time) so I don't get what all the fuss is about.
I've started following a few people and feel like I've got the hang of it. I will slowly add more people as I continue to navigate the Twitter sea. You can find me on twitter here.
There has been some rumblings this week about Twitter as a service. It appears to be down constantly, although I have yet to notice an outage (but I just started, and still barely use, twitter). TechCrunch has been discussing twitter and their inner turmoils for some time now.
I find it fascinating that Twitter has a service has grown to be so popular, and more importantly, depended upon by it's huge user base. I've seen writings about how to use Twitter to market (something I should probably get into while it's still a fresh & young idea). Can a quick 140 text message really compete with the social networking marketing power that sites like MySpace and Facebook provide?
We shall see (said the blind men.. or something like that)
