Three Twitterin’ days so far…
Steve Safran April 15th, 2007
I’ve had my first three days of Twitter, and I have mixed feelings about the thing. It’s a lot like blogging, in that you feel compelled to update the thing constantly. It’s also like blogging because you can’t imagine anyone cares. The brevity of the post also puts the pressure on. Rex has already come damn close to mastering the Twitter witticism (a twitticism?), but it has been slow going for me and Cory. Already we’ve had two “tweets” that exceeded the letter count. The potential for a social “breaking friends alert” is fascinating. It’s not IM, it’s not email, it’s not blogging and it’s not a chat room. I like any new variation on technology I can only describe in terms of what it’s not.

What is your twitter ‘handle’?

Sorry, pressed submit early.
I’ve found that the more people who I’m following and vice versa the more I’m able to actually get something beneficial out of Twitter.

Breaking Friends Alert?
Well since you were first to tell us on Twitter, and you’re blogging about it here, would that make it ‘Twitter you can count on’ or ‘Continuing Coverage’?

Its a waste of time is what it is.
The spammers will find out about it and it will just become a new avenue for them.

Unless you sign up to be a friend of the spammer, they can’t send you anything.
