Twitter

Does anyone here use Twitter? I just signed up for it yesterday. It's this cool site where you send short messages about what you're doing, and you can sign up to follow what other people are up to and get their messages. You can also download software for your computer - I'm using Twitterific on my Mac - or get the messages on your phone.

I thought it seemed strange at first, but it's kind of addictive. Here's my page, if anyone wants to link up with me:

Spirithunter, to follow

Spirithunter, to follow someone you just click on the "Follow" button under their name. Then, anytime they post an update, it shows up on your Twitter home page. But Twitter is most useful if you download a program to your computer, or a browser add-in, or sign up your phone to get the tweets. That way you get everyone's updates automatically and don't have to keep going to the Twitter web site to see them.

Talon: I have to agree with Moony here. Twitter is not Wands and Worlds, and there's no rules about what can be posted there. If you don't like what someone posts, remove them from your "following" list so that you won't get their messages. I'm sorry!
