Twitter is so cool!
How many times have you been out and about town, saw or heard something cool and wanted to tell everyone about it? I just started using twitter, it’s really cool. It’s a text message service where you can “follow” people and receive their texts as they send them to twitter. The service also posts your text messages to your profile page where you can even have them displayed on the public timeline. There could be loads of practical uses exploited here. For instance, I added topgold, of award-winning blog IrishEyes, as a friend and he just said this morning his washing machine can be setup on twitter to text him when the cycle is finished, how cool!
This is such a great way to blog on the run and speak your mind with a virtual diary. My twitter name is [jamesbritton] in case anyone wants to “listen” in on my thoughts. You can also use twitter with IM services and even Google Talk. This is really helpful if you don’t want to rack up the text msg charges. From Ireland twitter uses a UK number, so with Meteor I’m paying €0.12 per text and gotta be careful I don’t lose my shirt in topup charges. Watch out, it’s addictive! C U L8R…
