So, twitter.com. Until relatively recently I didn't even know what this was. But now I've signed up, got a few friends on there, a few celebs... and am thoroughly enjoying reading and talking to this mixed bunch of people through the art of 'micro blogging' (under 140 characters per post)
(Imagine sitting in a bar, filled with people you like. Friends, famous people.. whoever. Listening in, and joining in when you felt like. It's kind of like that.)
I won't go into a full description here, as I'm trying to paint some eyeballs (go to the website and read up about it instead), but I have to say I'm loving it. It's fascinating hearing in real time what the celebs that I'm following are up to (some use it ALL the time from their mobile/cell phones), and it's great being able to keep up with friends.
Anyway... I'm on there. If you fancy following me (that's what its called) then sign up, go to my profile page, and click on the follow button.
See you in tweet-land!
Darren
p.s. Once you've signed up and got used to it a bit, go look up one of the third-party applcations that you can use with Twitter. I use TweetDeck, I have this running in the background on my computer while I'm sat here through the day, and it lets me arrange people into groups, gives pop-up notices when someone I'm following makes a post, and it saves me having to go back to the website all the time. Although that does still work nicely.
