Twitter Bandwagon?
August 26, 2007 · by Scott Fradkin
For those not in the know, Twitter seems to be the “next new thing” in the social connectivity realm of the interweb. I’m more than a little skeptical of the usefulness of the tool. The gist of it is that you can post small messages (160 characters or less) to Twitter for your friends (and the world if you so choose) to see. In the great interconnectedness of the world, everyone can stay up-to-date to what you are doing. You can hook up your IM programs and your SMS phone to send to Twitter.
I decided to setup a Twitter account just to see what I think about it (http://twitter.com/sfradkin). I haven’t actually started to post anything on there yet, but I’ve noticed a few things. Twitter seems to work really well if you’re able to update during most of the day. I’m not the kind of person who is going to do this. I don’t use IM for anything, nor do I use SMS messaging on my cell phone. I don’t see myself posting updates while I’m at work since that seems rather unprofessional, and I’m usually away from my computer for the vast majority of the rest of the day.
But, I’ll give it a go and see what happens. It may prove to be more interesting than my first impressions have made it.
