Twitter

[marcmagus]

Following the my current trend of looking at something seriously if it comes recommended from multiple unconnected people, I've just signed up for a Twitter account. You can track what I have to say at http://twitter.com/marcmagus (or subscribe to my RSS feed there) if you're not a member.

I'm not sure what I'm going to use this for, if anything, but I think it might be subject to those random thoughts which catch my fancy and which I want to share with friends, but which aren't substantive enough to feel like they justify an LJ post. I may also use it to explicitly state publicly that I'm adding something to my Hiveminder tasklist, if I want people to know or want to be bugged about it or something. We'll see.

Note that my text messaging plan still charges me 10¢ per message either direction, and that trying to enter anything on a phone keypad seems to be really bad for my hands, so I probably won't be using the SMS integration much, if at all. Which is too bad, as that could be kind of neat.

I got into twitter because Tho said something along the lines of "You have awesome status messages (on IM), you should start using Twitter because it's the same sort of thing."

And then I forgot about it for most of two weeks. Thanks for reminding me or something?

I was using twitter for a while. Annoyingly, their AIM interface has been down for the last few weeks. :(

I'm using the Jabber interface. They don't currently even claim to *have* an AIM one.

I imagine it working well with your amount of connectivity...
