Twitter?

[bryant]

Anyone actually using Twitter? I'm semi-randomly giving it another try; BryantD is the account.

It's one of the long list of web widgets I signed up for (with this username) and almost never use. I find it difficult to believe that someone would care what I'm doing, moment by moment.

I don't know, I guess I could set up a Twitter account to track all the things my dog eats that I wish he wouldn't. That would be a solid post-a-day endeavor.

Yeah, I got no idea. I'm gonna run with it for a week or so and see if I can figure out the appeal.

Yeah, I'm on as rfrancis. I send something to it pretty rarely; a lot of my followers are podcast listeners so I kind of lean that direction for posting. I follow people I actually know and thus have some reason to care about. Warren Ellis periodically sends something really funny to it.

The only use I can think of for Twitter is actually data-logging, but there are so many better ways to log data...
