I started playing with Twitter a couple months back - yes, before Cisco used it as a marketing toy during Networkers - and thought it was fun. I like the concept of indirect IM. Sort of like multicasting for humans. People subscribe to you and you send content...a nice PIM sparse-mode setup.
I've even installed a few twitter desktop tools, but, in the end, settled on Twitteroo which is recommended by twitter. It's simple and tracks updates nicely. It also updates every minute to keep you properly informed.
But, I've found finding friends on twitter tough. I sent an e-mail to about 30 friends and co-workers asking if they twitter and most of them replied asking what twitter was....sigh.
So, I'm asking for some twitter friends. Anyone out there want to track me? When I see you following me I'll reciprocate. Looking forward to your messages.
