Tweet, Tweet
When I first checked out Twitter a couple of weeks ago, my reaction was a hearty “wuh!?”. Why would I care what anyone, friend or foe, is doing every minute of the day? And more to the point, why would anyone out there care what I had for breakfast and how my digestive system is handling it (a carb-ridden ham/cheese sandwich and quite well, thanks for asking)?
But since people won’t shut up about it, particularly my new favorite gym companion, I’ve been inclined to give it another shot. The last straw was when I saw that the WHAT WG HTML 5 draft has a Twitter ID for following changes to the spec. There’s a there there, folks, and like all social software the only way to really grok it is to use it.
I’ll be making an effort to keep a stream of AllPeers news going, so if you’re interested sign up and be my friend (insert plaintive tone here). My ID is “plasticmillion”.
UPDATE: So far I’m not that impressed, plausibly because the service has been down almost continually since I posted this. When up it seems to drop most updates. I’ll try again in a couple of days and probably give up at that point if they haven’t solved what are apparently stability issues.
UPDATE: Service seems to be running stably now, but I still have only 5 followers. Does that mean that no one who reads this has Twitter, or does nobody love me? Just in case it’s the latter, I cried myself to sleep last night.
