Twitter

Published on Monday, September 15, 2008

We’re changing things up a bit! Instead of Money Monday today, we bring you Media Monday. Today’s topic is… Twitter.

Twitter continues to gain momentum even when many said it wasn’t going to make it (downtime, lack of interest). With every few blogs I browse through, a few will have their Twitter updates shining from a corner of their page. Even when I watch TV, I see newscasters mentioning comments from their Twitter followers.

Are you on Twitter yet? If not, why? It seems like eventually everyone is going to have an account, for some reason.

I am on Twitter, mostly replying to direct messages, but I've moved over to Rejaw (http://rejaw.com). The appeal to Rejaw is having 1,000 characters to type in and that it runs in real-time, there's also threads to make comments in. While Twitter is great for stating "What are you doing?", I find Rejaw is a lot better for having conversations. The only problem is that all the users are still on Twitter and refusing to move to new services unless their followers move as well. One can only hope they all discover Rejaw and enjoy it.

Yes. I'm on twitter. I've actually met some great people via Twitter. In fact, I've found some other fire families. It's been a great time. Even the political banter.

I'm on Twitter, but hardly use it anymore. Need to add it to my blog layout somehow.
