I’m pretty obsessed with Twitter. I’m updating 10 times a day, checking other’s updates every 10 minutes.

Twitter is pretty good, everyone seems to use it just for the fun of it. I’ve never used it but my friends are never off it, it’s like you’re not cool unless you’re hitting a twitter every 5 minutes now haha. Great job.

AHOY!
Your example list of Twitter messages could be a very interesting were they shown in great length, and with times and places appended. It would be interesting in the same way that reading a journal can be interesting, although having read a couple, I can attest that the inclusion of longer entries is important to get a better understanding of the rest. But with Twitter, given your description of it together with a brief description elsewhere on the web, only ever has very brief entries.

I twittered 48 times while reading this, including your 14 examples. Sorry - couldn’t help myself.

I have to agree with your first commenter, who wrote about being social for the sake of being social. I’d even go so far to say that’s programmed into our genes, almost as heavily as wanting air, water, and to make children. I don’t think using twitter counts as being social, though.

This blog made me think of the Alfred Lord Tennyson saying: “Self-reverence, self-knowledge, self-control, these three alone lead life to sovereign power.” - I truly look forward to see your next post.

Yeah that’s right. Your Twitter-Article here is great, but I think about the topic slightly difficult. In my opinion the quality of information you can get through Twitter is only depending on which people you are following.

bang on…

their are soo many people who twitter just because they want to twitter…BUT I think that is what social networking is all about..socialize because you want to socialize..

we bloggers are those who find a way out in social networking to promote our websites…

social networking was built for fun…we have started to use it to promote ourselves…

right?
