Yes I twitter and yes it’s stupid and yes I still do it.
I’ll try anything once, as evidenced by the countless vacant activity in dozens of social networking sites. But after reading Darren’s revelation and pointing me to Alan’s portion of the Open, Connected movie, it made more sense. I could certainly point to several resources, connections and good fun discovered but spending a short time twittering.
Alan points to the experience I had today using twitter. The idea of having instant access and discovering incidental ideas is quite captivating. It reminds me a but of StumbleUpon which I although I haven’t used for quite a while, provided some great treasures. Twitter isn’t just about links and resources but personalizes things. The idea of nano blogging is nice outlet for me and others who struggle with creating fully developed blog posts.
I still don’t fully get it but I get it more now.
