Woot!

It gets particularly fun if you download Twitterific or enable the IM feature in Twitter, either of which sends you your friends' updates. I've got one friend who posts haikus, others who use it as a low-impact chat format, there's a twitter account that tells me the day's weather (although it's usually a bit later than is useful)... Lots of timewasting fun.

I think I'm just gonna make it my homepage and type whatever pops into my head into it when it appears.

That's a good idear, interrobang.

I'm in.

Yay!

What's the difference between a friend and a follower?

posted by Specklet 22 February | 18:16

Friends people you link to, followers are people who link to you.

Oh god, I don't even understand how Vox works and now there's some other whole new networking thing that I will never learn how to use as well.

essexjan, this is so much easier than Vox. Literally type and send.

I'm in

Moi aussi. As per usual.

it's me or is it SLOW? :-/

posted by darkripper 22 February | 19:08

Yeah, they've desperately needed some extra servers for a while now.

posted by chrismear 22 February | 19:17

Not before I read this post I wasn't.

But now I'm giving it a go here. You have to friend or follow or whatever me to see my updates -- I think. Please do.

I'm in. Of course.

Wheee!

Cool! Dodgy showed me this a month ago, but I haven't been on since. Here I am!

posted by taz 23 February | 02:22

Indeed (again, worryingly inconsistent with online vs. offline ident)

posted by TheDonF 23 February | 03:30

Yep, I'm already there as dodgygeezer

posted by dodgygeezer 23 February | 04:24

Why am I here?

posted by dabitch 23 February | 06:28

Dabitch's link is borked. My username is now this

posted by TheDonF 23 February | 06:35

Yo, peeps: if you send me a friend request to my old Twitter account (that I still have), it will get denied. That's not to say I don't love you, but my online life is now: http://twitter.com/TheDonF , so just send it there as instead.

posted by TheDonF 23 February | 10:42

Okay, I'm in, but how in Hades do you add people?

posted by deborah 23 February | 11:27

Never mind. I'm such a doofus.

posted by deborah 23 February | 11:30

unborked link, though I'm not hard to find. ;P Everyone's been asking me about twitter recently, it's you folks who pushed me over the EDGE (dum dum DUM!). Plus, I've found your updates highly amusing tonight. I don't want a John Wayne Clock either but I'm glad your shirt looks good dodgygeezer!

posted by dabitch 23 February | 16:35

Late to the party, but I'm there too.
