I have been on this kick lately over twitter.

I’ve caught a lot of flack for it, mostly from my friends who giggle at the word. I’ll admit, I wondered about the point of this form of communication myself at first, but now I think it could be something really fun

Here are some useful things about it:

1. Gives people an update about your day/opportunity to share witty comments.
2. I’m able to keep up with people I want to (e.g. my friend Witt who lives in Colombia. I know more about her life now than I did when she lived in Mississippi).
3. It would be a good place for my friends to record their very clever observations during the day, as opposed to sending them out in a “to many” text message.

Other people have their reasons too:

Here are some things to remember to maximize your experience. When you sign up:

• Find people you want to follow and then click the “follow” button. This will automatically give you their updated status.
• If you like to text message, pair your phone with your twitter account, then you can update by texting to 40404.
• You can post directly to one of your followers by typing @+their screenname (@tapdraw).
• Then update.
• Come on, really, it’ll be fun. When have I been wrong about something being fun.
