Thing 31

Twitter is all the rage just now. Although apparently teens are now turned off by all the boring old adults on twitter.

Somebody twittered during the President's Not-State of the Nation speech. That was a tiny scandal.

I use Twitter from time to time. Mostly to read about more interesting people than me, where I occasionally comment. Or I grump about the weather (rightly so).

I tried TweetEffect. I have 17 followers. "In the last 67 updates you had no changes in your follower numbers. Loyal readers, you have."

Side note: Here is an article all about how Twitter is evil and spreading swine flu. Or something like that.

Second side note: Here's a comic strip about twitter.

Getting overwhelmed.

Added myself to the Tweeter directory. I am still boring. But now more people can find me. And apparently they are.

I have Twitterfox at home. Don't want to put it on the staff computers at work. It's nice. Not too distracting. Would have been useful during the book awards and such.

I think the stage of Twitter I am at is Presence. Sort of. I think I am more of a Lurker, but that wasn't an option.

I think Twitter is a bit more like a water cooler than anything else. Not a library.
