I joined the Twitter craze. It enables you to keep people micro-informed about your doings. For instance, that you’re getting ready for work, and now you’re driving to work, and now you’re checking your email, and now it’s break time…little postings throughout the day.

When I first heard about Twitter, I deemed it terribly stupid and intrusive. But some other Communications people I know are messing with it, and merely posting something once a day. And it is, I must confess, just slightly interesting.

So I signed up, and installed the code on my blog (over on the right). Now, this page is kinda like two blogs–one with my major postings, which generally occur at least every few days, and then my Twitter postings. FYI, there are three ways I can post: from the Twitter website, using a Dashboard Widget called Twidget, and directly from iChat as an instant message. Convenient.

I’m not enamored with Twitter, and not advocating that you climb aboard. I’ll do the Twitter thing until I decide my first impressions are correct–that it is, indeed, a stupid time-waster–and then I’ll delete it. But for now, I’m tweeting.
