Giving Twitter another spin
Posted: August 20th, 2008 | Filed under: Personal | CommentsToday, I decided to give Twitter another try. I know many people who use it and some use cases look quite reasonable. Many topics may not deserve a post on a blog or an article on a site, but will fit nicely into a short twitter message. Many posts on a blog may not get as many comments from your friends as on twitter since saying anything on a blog implies careful crafting of a message. Twitter, on the contrary, aids almost chat-like experience and quick response times.
Another important aspect is that many people and organizations start to take Twitter seriously as a source of public opinion on products, events, people. They build comprehensive data mining systems around Twitter public streams and that’s basically is a good thing since the information you publish gets to a wider range of people in one way or another rather than to your direct followers only. Give it a thought, and let me know what you think.
In a mean time, here’s my twitter page — spyromus.
