In line with the fad of everybody wanting to stay connected to everybody else and even people that they don't know, I've decided to join Twitter today. If you haven't heard about Twitter, well, it's pretty much a souped up site for people to put up their status updates for whoever is interested to read their status updates (ie. followers), whether it be something interesting like a new place you just visited or an eureka thought you had, or something super boring like how you just picked a gigantic booger out your nose. You can pretty much do the same thing on Facebook... and MSN Messenger... and Gtalk.... and just about any other chat device or networking site out there.
So actually I don't quite get what the hype is about yet and I'm just joining for the heck of it. So far me thinks the only real cool thing about Twitter is that I can update my status from my phone through sms with no extra charge other than the normal sms rate. So whenever I'm overseas without internet access and really bored, I can waste my sms money telling people what's happening with me with my phone. Another cool thing is that some real celebrities actually use Twitter, and you can become their follower and get real updates from the real deal. However, there are many fake celebrity accounts, so I'm wondering if Paul Hewson a.k.a. Bono's account is the real deal or some faker. Haven't added him to my friends list yet.
However, since there doesn't seem to be a way for my friend's Twitter updates to be sent to my email for me to read, I suspect I will just end up never bothering to log into Twitter to check out my friends' updates. Which kinda defeats half the purpose.
So anyway, if you're interested, you can check out my Twitter page, and if you're already a Tweeter, you can become one of my minions....*ahem*, I mean, followers, or you could just check out my Tweets on the sidebar of my blog.
Ah yes, the joys of staying connected without even talking to anyone. :P
