triangular dreams

I first heard about Twitter.com ages ago. My first reaction was that it sounded like a ridiculous idea. I just didn’t get it. But since then I have read so many good things about twitter on the internet and have seen how popular it has become. I decided it was about time to join up with an open mind and see what all of the fuss is about.As I’m just a little clueless about all the ways you can use twitter I scanned the net for info. I was rather overwhelmed as there is an abundance of information about twitter on the internet, way to much for me to take it all in. There are two bits of advice that I spotted that I will follow straight away. Both are from Marshall Kirkpatrick a new media consultant who really seems to know his stuff.

The first is that he recommends using a platform to interact with twitter, so that you do not have to log onto twitter everytime you want to interact. I’m on a mac so I’ll follow his recommendation to use twitterific for windows users he suggests twitbin.

The second bit of advice is that twitter is no fun if you don’t have any friends. I’m don’t think any of my actual friends are on twitter so I’ll have to try and make some new ones.
