Twitter. Likely you’ve noticed in my sidebar The Weakonomist Twitter Feed. What’s Twitter? That was certainly my thought when I first heard of it. Well the answer is difficult. If you’ve ever used an instant messaging program like AIM, MSN Messenger, or in my case, Pidgin then you’ll know what an away message is. The away message is a great way to let people know what you’re doing.
Twitter is kind of a universal place to put up away messages. I mostly use it to announce new blog posts, but sometimes I’ll throw up some thoughts or even a cool link I’d like to share with you readers. Some call it “micro blogging”, as you’re limited to 140 characters. You can follow me and I can follow you. Its certainly difficult to describe and you won’t understand unless you try it.
Perhaps this video will explain it best. I just found it while posting this morning.
Search for people you know and see if they are on there. If you’re a tech head like I am, you must follow the likes of Kevin Rose and Jason Calacanis. I also follow Leo Laporte and other A-List geeks. Obama junkies can follow the campaign and get updates about where he is. He’s currently the most followed according to Twitterholic. Give it a shot, it won’t hurt you and you might find it useful.
No links back to my site today. Thanks for the emails, keep the coming!
