Martha tweets and as of a couple weeks ago, Oprah tweets too. Do you tweet? I do.
If you don’t know what a tweet is by now, it’s a message sent via the social network twitter.com. Along with the word tweep (a person who tweets) its one of the words entering the vocabulary of the hip and happening folks who use twitter to talk about their lives, their business, network with people interested in the same things as they are, and drive people to check out their content on their web sites.
The only time I get a message from Twitter is if someone has added me as a contact or sent me a direct message. With Facebook, I had to go in and edit my settings so that my inbox didn’t get flooded with messages. I really don’t want to have to work that hard with my extra-curricular computing.
Of all the social networking tools out there, I like twitter the most. It’s short, it’s sweet, and it lets me communicate what I want without having to deal with a bunch of messages from applications I don’t use. The Twitter folks also seem to have the spam tweeters under control as well.
So try twitter. You just might have some fun.
