    Oh, definitely, the volumes upon volumes of stuff that people put online may very well come back to haunt them. Employment wise, romance wise, who knows when that late-night drunken blog post will bubble back up and appear on your desk one morning. Not that I'd know anything about that.

    That said, I do like the idea of Twitter. No long essays or rants or navel-gazing analyses. You've got 150 or so characters to fire off an update.

    I've seen my share of "standing in line" posts at Twitter so far, but it seems lots of folks only ping it when they've got something a little more interesting than that to share. Unless, of course, documenting the monotony of their daily lives is the point, which for some folks it is. You can hit the main page and see dozens of pint-size updates at once. It's like taking a global snapshot of geeks!

    Too cool. I hit the main page just in time to catch one ZZType waking up.

    I dunno if I'd want to twitter about every single thing I was doing because one never knows when such information might become fodder for a subpoena!
    Of course, the target market for this service (probably young kids and young adults) doesn't even THINK about ramifications like that!

    TWIT 1: Wassup?
    TWIT 2: Oh, not much just going down to the bank and getting a wad of cash.
    TWIT 1: But you don't have a bank account!
    TWIT 2: Who needs a bank account?

    started a topic I'm all a Twitter!

    I'm all a Twitter!

    The latest wacky web widget I'm playing with is Twitter.

    You know how, when blogging got big, that people started joking, "Oh, great, now people are going to post every little thing they do online!"

    Well, that's what Twitter is for. Posting updates by SMS, IM, or (if you insist) via the web... short, spontaneous, one-sentence updates from wherever you might be. Imagine a friend messaging you now and then asking, "What are you doing?" Well, you can answer to your friend, several friends, or the world.

    Yeah, this means a lot of posts like, "Watching Heroes," "Standing in line at the supermarket, milk is expensive," and "Thinking that girl two rows up is cute." But it can be fun, or reassuring, or downright surreal, to see these stray thoughts collected in one place. You can see a "stream" of all your friends' Twitter posts, and discover if there are any odd coincidences. Definitely a lot of posts on the site mentioned "Heroes" last night!

    Anyone here a Twitter-er? My profile is here, though obviously I'm not up to much. I wrote a longer review of the site here.
