Do you Twitter?
Jul 18th 2007TracyInfo Tech & Opinion
Mr. Sherpa recently turned me on to Twitter. It bills itself as, “A global community of friends and strangers answering one simple question: What are you doing? Answer on your phone, IM, or right here on the web!” So, chalk this is another Web 2.0 communication tool. As of now, Mr. Sherpa and I use it to communicate since our cell phone carrier shut down the website where we could send free text messages to each other. Yes, I could send the messages from my phone but since I’m in front of a computer all day long at work it is quicker for me to type him a message using this Twitter site. I’m sure I’m not using it to its full potential or even how its creators imagined. But, like any good end user, I am adapting the technology to suit my needs. Now, it also appears as though there is another site named Pownce which functions in a similar manner. I have yet to check it out, but there is a blog posting comparing the two at Mobile Messaging 2.0
Happy Twittering. (or Powncing)
