Do You Twitter?

Do you Twitter?

I don’t. But I think it is a cool idea and I’m curious how many of you use Twitter?

>>> UPDATE: I do now! Janice and I have started twittering. Follow Us and join the fun!

And how many of you wonder what the heck Twitter is?

I’d heard the cute term a few times, and I’d even checked out what a friend was doing, but I’d never been that intrigued until I saw this great, little video.

I love how this video was made… it’s so darn creative… you’ve got to check it out.

(I stumbled upon the video on Karlyn’s site while I was adding her to our website directory. We’ve been working madly at republishing all the old listings in our blog, store and site directories.)

I can imagine that it would be fun to follow a bunch of friends and keep updated on what we’re all doing. But my problem is that I can’t imagine doing anything even remotely interesting enough to say… it would be all… changing dirty diaper, trying to force feed toddler, checking email, writing post etc. My life is just the same old stuff over and over and over and over.

But what about you? Is your life more interesting than mine? Do you have people following you on Twitter?

So leave a comment and tell us if you Twitter, or if you’ve never heard of it before. And if you do Twitter, feel free to leave your link so that people can follow you.

    I twitter – not sure why..but I do…and my twitters also show up on my blog in the side column. I always feel ridiculous using it though – like it is meant for people MUCH younger than I am…but nonetheless I do have people following me. They must be bored. =-) It was fun twittering from inside our caucus site though – you could get a better feel for how it was going before the media announced things.

    I used Twitter. I am following and being followed by a lot of people I don’t know through my job at mahalo.com etc. =( I think that if a person could get close friends and family members to use it, then it would be a great way to keep up with one another.

    There are gadgets you can download for your desktop, your blog, webpage, phone etc, that updated the “tweets” that people leave.
    Could be fun if, as I said, your close friends etc were on board with it as well.

    You could message your sister and tell her “I’m going to the bathroom right now”..and important stuff like that. =)

    Sounds like a wonderful idea for college kids who have no life. LOL. No, seriously though, do I have time to run to the computer throughout the day to tell everyone the little details of my life?

    I think it sounds potentially fun. Just time consuming.

    Yes, I’m twittering now, thanks to the nudging of my husband, a Twitter fanatic. :0)

    I do have about 10 people following me. It’s fun. I love that you can text in a twitter from your phone, too. And I try to limit it to only “twitter-worthy” happenings.

    Example of something that’s NOT a “twitter-worthy” happening:
    I’m cleaning out the refrigerator.

    Example of something that IS “twitter-worthy”:
    I am riding down Brown Road and just passed a peacock! What?

    It is also a fun way to share with others those hilarious “kid sayings” my son is always spouting out!

    I’ve been twittering for a little bit now. It can get kind of addictive, but sometimes I feel dumb posting stuff about my kids. But it works as a nice mini-blog for little stuff I want to share with my family and friends. My last 5 tweets are in a side bar on my blog, and my mom can’t tell the difference between my twittering and my blog posts. 🙂

    oh, I love Twitter! 🙂 I’m following some interesting people and I hope those that follow me get a kick out of some of the stuff I say.

    I think of Twitter as a micro-blog. And it certainly is – you get 140 characters to say what you want in each update. Kind of like a good writing exercise. Be concise, yet a bit informative. It’s also a good place to drop a quick, “I just posted to the blog.” Maybe add a few readers to your site. Give it a try.

    My Twitter ID is monicabrand if anyone wants to come follow me. I’ll be sure to return the favor.
