do you Twitter?

Do you Twitter? I’ve recently stumbled upon this amazing phenomenon. It’s a micro blog. It’s a mix of a blog and an instant message. Or maybe a mix of a blog and a text message. Confused yet? Here’s how it works.
Write what’s going on in your life in 140 characters or less. It’s just a snapshot. A thought. A moment in time.
In line and that guy in front of you decides to write a check and goes through three pens before finding one that works? Twitter it! Find yourself doing something fun, boring or just plain weird? Twitter it! Have an odd thought that will make your friends chuckle? Well, you get the idea.
It’s designed to work best if you connect it to an Instant Message (or a client like Twhirl) or your phone (as a text message) so wherever you are, you can either find out what’s going on in your friends life or share what’s happening with you.
You can follow people, they can follow you. You can follow famous people. They probably will not follow you. But your friends will. Or follow your friend’s friends and make new friends! It’s all social interaction at it’s best.
It may not be for you. But you might want to give it a shot. I’m digging it right now.
