Is It Time To twitter?

Hi. This post I wanted to write after I read in The Sun(there are other newspapers available but not as good as them) about a website they did an article about. So Thanks to them for covering a story on it.Right,so today's post on Blogged On Internet , I wanted to mention twitter as the site I meant. Some of you may know what that is and some off you may be thinking, what? Well for those of you unaware, twitter is a website, which I think counts as a Social Networking Site, but it has some noticeable differences though. I mean for example, with your facebook and myspace, you may find that some may post an update once daily,some maybe more often, some less often. I have not seen very often at all people make another post just a few minuets after their last one. Well with twitter, I have found this to be different. Take the example the Sun Reporter used with Stephen Fry's Twitter Page. Stephen had made various comments about his day and what he had been doing (witty and interesting as you might except from Stephen,recommend checking his out) within the space of a couple of hours. Now on facebook there may be the 'Status Update' option which some may use to express a feeling or mood or maybe what they have/are doing. This can be a good feature. But on twitter using a smiler system to this, there is a box that can be filled(seems it may be limited to a certain amount of characters-I believe 140- where you can express the answer to this question-What Are You Doing?You may want to give your feelings abut what you are doing, it can be made more or less personnel, that's what you can decide on. Its got a very simple to use interface, there may not be as many features as the likes of myspace, bebo and facebook, but then I expect that might be the point, to keep it simple with the main idea been updating 'What You Are Doing Now'. And also finding out What Other's Are Doing Now. Yes, because you can choose to follow other people's updates, by doing so there postings can then be added to your homepage to be read. A bit like 'The Wall' on facebook. So far I have added to my 'following' list- Stephen Fry and A blog on Chocolates. I don't know how many people are on their yet, but apparently, more and more people have been signing up to them as the years have gone by since 2006 when I believe they started according to The Sun. Maybe there's some posts on there you may find really interesting, maybe you want to follow what someone is telling twitter users about their day. Maybe their is a celebrity on their you may want to follow their updates. I don't know all the famous people on their but perhaps you may find someone you like. I found Kylie Minogue who posted 1 update so far. A word of warning as with all these kind of sites, try to find out if they are who they say they are when finding people, keep in mind they may not be the actual person they say they are as sometimes like I have found on myspace some people have had a habit of putting there name down as a famous celebrity who they may not be.
Well having only just joined twitter myself the other day (stuwieben, if you wanna twitter me-is that the phrase? well if you want to follow my updates anyway) I have only made a few updates myself, but I look foward to using this site more and have a feeling it may be one to take note of.
