The micro-blogging site, Twitter, has been around for awhile. And the concept is fairly simple…
Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?
To that end, you are able to post a short (140 character max) message that folks have come to refer to as “tweets”. These messages lets others know what you are doing at any given time. I get the whole concept, but I never really got in to it… just never found much of a use for it, though I have tried on a few occasions.
Maybe I just don’t have enough friends? Well, friends that also use Twitter. Or that are even in to the whole social networking concept. Which is actually rather odd since just about all the friends I have these days I can pretty much trace back to having gotten connected through some sort of online means. Most from back in my AOL days. But I suppose as I have slowly delved more and more in to the world of putting content on the web via various blogs, I was bound to drift towards the micro-blogging here and there.
