I don’t know what’s happening but Twitter is all over the place. People are blogging about it like it’s something new… do I take it so far as to say revolutionary?
It’s been around for a while now… so why all the buzz. I don’t get it? I mean I get what Twitter is and how it would be very beneficial to let people know what you’re doing - keep it relavent to your blog and you’ll be laughing. I’ve noticed that there are a lot o “twits” out there who twitter about almost everything - and some of it is actually interesting and I enjoy twittering back at them. Recently with the upsurge of twitterings - I’ve actually got a few people on my list that I wouldn’t have met otherwise - and honestly I enjoy chatting with them in this random fashion. It actually works for me and how I manage to get through my evenings of online adventure.
But I’m just wondering why all the whoopla over Twitter… now of all things. I like twitter… I even have an account for this site - and you can see from the sidebar today I don’t have it up. I’ve had quite a few people subscribe to my twitter lately and I’m sure it’s been a LONG time since I’ve used on this site specifically. Maybe I’ll bring it back… along with sexy.
I guess in this big ramble is that I enjoy Twitter - and at first I didn’t really know what it was good for. But lately I’ve gotten into showcasing what’s on my site and I’m looking into if I’ll get leads from using it. Hell, even connecting with people who share similar interests is always cool too. I’m just wondering why all the fuss right now. There was a lot when it first came out - and now I’m wondering if it’s finally finding it’s wings (so to speak) and people are utilizing it now for what it was meant to be used for - and now they’re figuring it out and talking about it?
Have you noticed an increase in “Twitterings” lately?

Yes… Twittering is out of control right now. Lots of buzz about it. I just got an account but still don’t find it real useful.
You think the “twitter owners” hit up some of the big dogs and got them on board to start pushing twitter a bit? Typically that is why we see an increase in activity for the latest fad. Thanks for the post… I’ll follow you on twitter
maybe we can chat.

I know - everyone’s blogging about it! I thought I was missing out on something so I signed up a few weeks ago and haven’t even used it yet - by the time I get round to tweeting (twitting?) it’ll be the last big thing.

Amen. I think we’ve reached the tipping point. I held out for as long as I could and, but even I succumbed to the pressure!

I’ve been blogging for a while and have heard all the praises for twitter. But I never did join. I just never saw a real great need for it. I have so many plugins and profiles and stats and forums and all that to check that well you can figure out what I’m doing by any of those methods.
But now, I’m getting about 3-5 requests a day from fans and ECers that want me to join so they can follow me. Hey guys, I’m either at home or a local coffee shop. Either way I’m on line. If I’m doing something really cool or unexpected…you’ll hear about it.
But still, maybe I should break down and join…
