Giving Twitter Another Try
Twitter always seemed to me like one of those pointless time-wasting internet apps - and it probably is. But I stumbled across the video below on Erwin Blom's blog and apart from the fact it's a great video, it also gives a good explanation of what Twitter is and what its added value can be. That's why I decided to give it another try. So take a look and if you are convinced, let me know you're Twittering and I'll follow you... "follow you wherever you may gooooo..." - tra la la.

Yep, another waste of time. Twitter is a bit TMI. Do I really need to know everything everyone is doing all the time. Big brother where art though!?
I still don’t even quite get the usefulness and popularity of Facebook.

What’s TMI?

TMI = Too Much Information

Update: I’m not getting round to updating my Twitter nearly often enough.. so my onclusion, for me… waste of time. Oh well…

Another update: I have been completely addicted to Twitter for over a year now. I’ve made new friends through it and got answers to questions within seconds. Quite an amazing dynamic once you really sink your teeth into it.
So, my predictions about Twitter being a hype and boring and pointless were excruciatingly WRONG… just like when, in 1999, I said “Text messaging? Who the hell needs that if you have a mobile phone?”.
I’m quite good at predicting hit singles on albums though, so if you’re a band and wondering which single to put out next – gimme a call.
