Twitterpated
I hate to jump on a silly Internet trend, but I can’t believe how addictive Twitter is. I signed up less than a week ago. I’m eagerly adding friends and followers.
It took less than a day before one of my friends used the word “twitterpated.” I was purposely NOT using it because I wanted to see how long it would take. I thought their name was stupid until I remembered twitterpated.
If you want to add me to your friends list, I’m here:
What is Twitter?
You’re supposed to just periodically type in what you’re doing. It gets sent to all your friends. If you’re at the local coffee shop, you can tell your buddies and they can all meet you there.
You can add your updates using the IM on your computer, the SMS on your phone or just enter them on the Twitter website. Because there are so many options for adding and receiving your updates, it makes it really easy. I don’t mind texting on my cellphone, but I’m a cheapskate. Their website is so well maintained that I can access it from my Treo, read my friend’s updates and send my own.
I imagine it would be a great way to keep in touch. Sometimes when I’m working at home alone, it’s nice to feel like someone else is there.
