I’ve been playing around with Twitter recently and its much more addictive than I suspected. Basically you just IM, SMS, or otherwise type in little status updates and they get sent out to everyone via IM or SMS or whatever. There are plugins for just about everything so I have my IM client set my away status to my latest tweet (yes thats what its called) and I have facebook update whenever I send one. And since I do this all via IM it takes about 5 seconds to update everyone and everything to whats going on. Its quite fun but, its even more fun when you have a whole group of friends with everyone getting updates from everyone else, so, everyone should join. Add me on Twitter and let the fun begin.
