Twitter

I'm a recent convert to Twitter.

Oh, I HEARD about it a long time ago and took a brief look. People answering the question "what are you doing right now". It seemed like an awful waste of time.

Why would anyone want to now what I was doing? And more importantly - why would I want to know what they ate for breakfast or whether they were trimming their toenails? Not for me, I decided.

But about a month ago I was reintroduced to Twitter and this time I took to it like a duck to water, like a partridge to a pear tree, like a ... you get my drift.

I was atwitter with enthusiasm!

(You'll remember I was always a sucker for the widgets!)

So - if you cast your eyes to the right (and probably a little or a lot down) you'll see my Twitter widget, embedded there so that you too can share the excitement of every trivial detail of my life!

The thing that I like about Twitter is that it only takes a moment and yet (if you keep your list of people followed on the small side) you do start to get to know those folk.

Some people have lists of thousands but I'm keeping it small for the time being. It seems a bit pointless if all the Tweets disappear of my page within seconds - which is what must happen if you have gazillion people tweeting.

So if anyone out there has wondered about Twitter - whether it was right for them - give it a go.

It is actually fun and I can see some sensible uses for it. It's almost like a blog in giving that connection between people and yet you can do it so quickly that even on a busy day you can find time for a quick Tweet.

And there is nothing quite like a quick Tweet I've always thought!
