Twitter or This post had to come sooner or later

with 6 comments

@having fun with microblogging, status-blogging, whatever twitter is.

Though am not totally addicted to it, its good to post short thoughts or replies at Twitter. I still find the place a bit weird to browse through but I’m beginning to get a hang of it, unfortunately not while I’m mobile. I think that’s the best point of Twitter, a scribble pad to post upon as you travel.

Twitter - Cause birds tweet?

Twitter - Cause birds "tweet"?

I’ve had many nice ideas, thoughts and such while travelling but never have I cultivated the so-said good habit of carrying around a small notebook to scribble them upon. I find that quite odd to do, non-wash-proof kind of odd. Twitter, however, with the advance of the mobile devices into every man’s pockets, promises to help cultivating the same habit in a digital way. I need to setup the texting feature and give it a spin, and also try some gprs methods while am at it.

On my desktop I use Ping.fm for “tweeting”, as they like to call it, and I use it along with Bitlbee. Nice integration into one single irssi IRC interface. Ok I got a bit off the topic there, admitted. I’m turning quite the jargon guy here I notice, but I can’t really help changing that back, but yes I can dumb stuff down a bit maybe.

So, more tiny updates at my Twitter account - QwertyManiac

  2. It is good, don’t find it addictive either (as far as posting goes, but reading - hell yeah!)

  3. I agree! Twitter is addictive :) Even I am addicted to it very much.
    The more people you follow, and the more people follow you, you get more ‘inspiration to tweet’… Which can get very much sometimes!
    BTW, even you tweet very much! I’m following you :)

  6. Yeah! Twitter is addictive.. You get addicted even before you know…
    I myself use twitter as a way to keep tracks of thoughts.
    Since you are trying new text and mobile web ways..I suggest try - vakow!
    Usually SMSing to twitter cost about 3 rupees. Through Vakow! its abt 50 paise (or your regular SMS charges.).
