I Dream in Colors

02/05/07 Yet another web 2.0 site

This time it’s Twitter. I looked at the website for a short description of what the site is all about but I couldn’t find any. How 2.0, eh? [edit: actually there is such a thing, but you don't see it if you're signed on]. Basically, you submit little updates about what you’re up to, via their site, IM or SMS, so your contacts can see what’s going on with you.
Bob got me started with this a day or two after christmas; I used it for like two times and dropped it. It wasn’t till I got back home that I started using it again. For some reason I got hooked to it, even despite the fact that using Twitter from my phone (wich is the coolest feature) would cost an arm and a leg as I’d have to send SMSs internationally. Getting contact requests by people like C.C. Chapman, Neil Gorman, Bill Deys or Chris Penn did sure help. It still amazes me that people in the podcasting community know who I am, given the fact that not only I don’t do a podcast, but I should probably not be allowed near a microphone.

[edit 2: Chris came up with a pretty good definition of what twitter is].
