Down to the Social - Twitter

Things are changing so damn fast these days. With Blogger, WordPress taking a stranglehold on the new generation of "connected" people. With tinterweb 2.0 and gadgets we've got sites that take all this gickery-pokeray a bit further.
The site Twitter.com is a fascinating resident of the block. Better than FaceParty and Myspace and certainly better than the old sms.lycos.co.uk Twitter allows the "yoof" of society keep in touch.

You're probably saying that's all be done before - it probably has. But Twitter is different. What sets it apart is its simplicity.
Users just have to answer one simple question: "What are you doing?".
It's so simple and it's this simplicity is a distinct advantage. But it's the "information push" that give's it the edge over the big boys.
These "connected-wannabes" can have other people's "posts" sent direct to their mobiles so they're always "in the loop." Something that other's just don't do.
Good luck to them!

I signed up for Twitter to keep in touch with some of the US folks I hope to meet at Affiliate Summit but so far it's driving me nuts. Should be handy at the event but apart from that it's just a bit irritating. Unless everyone is in the same group you just get loads of texts which are half a conversation!
It will be an interesting one to keep an eye on though.
