Today we’re taking a look at Twitter. Twitter is a web 2.0 service that allows you to enter in short summaries of your activities, thoughts, or initial responses to other’s posts in a very simple and fast environment. Twitter has a lot going for it. It’s a unique blogging tool that allows integration with other blogs and web 2.0 environments. I have Twitter integrated into mattryan.tv so that my daily Tweets, as the call them, updates into my blog automatically while my standard blog posts get sent to my Twitter account so those following me can catch the link and check out the post.
Twitter is magic for people that don’t like to use the phone, yet still enjoy keeping up with their friends. Twitter has a feature where you can get a text message every time one of your friends updates a tweet. The downside I can see would be that the service is rather addicting, as you constantly catch yourself tweeting even when the situation doesn’t exactly allow for such activity. Believe me, tweeting “I’m getting married right now” during your wedding will no doubt draw unwanted attention. So watch yourself and don’t get too carried away with your tweets.
