Who here has Twitter? Twitter isn’t really a Social Networking site. I never thought it would turn into what it has. Twitter is basically the place to let the World know what you’re doing, in 140 characters or less. Twitter has become my favorite social-type website, by far. It’s easy, it’s fun and it’s relevant.

You simply sign up for a free account, find some people to follow, and Tweet your statuses and messages any time you have something to say. Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing? Bloggers can use it as a mini-blogging tool. Developers can use the API to make Twitter tools of their own. Possibilities are endless!

As it turns out, your best friend is probably interested in knowing if you’re “loving the new Radiohead album.” And yes, your Mom may want to know if you’re “skipping breakfast in favor of a latte.” You might want to know if your significant other “feels like taking a roadtrip.” Find out what your friends are doing; keep each other abreast of your quotidian rituals.

Following someone simply means receiving their Twitter updates. How you receive the updates (on your phone, IM, or just on the web) is up to you. You can set your following preferences based on device, and then set notification preferences for each person you follow. Your followers are those who have elected to receive your twitters.

I recently started using it, I added you Chris and a couple of other people I know and boom I was addicted. It is very interesting to read what people are up to and now I almost feel obligated to let people know what I am doing every hour. I hope everyone gets a chance to check it out because it is indeed a great service with such a simple concept.
Take care everyone

You guys are weird…

Nice vid. Twitter rocks..

Is this twitter for dummies?

Im using Twitter since now

Someone needs to post a reality video of what its really like to use the pirillo streaming site along with IRC. It’s pure lag. The video buffers every 30 seconds when the recording is not being done and every 2 seconds when it is. He also spends 99% of his time chatting to his friends on team speak and completely ignoring the chat room.

Twitter what a cool name i wish my name is twitter.

Well, he DOES have his own life, remember? But of course the IRC room it’s pure lag. I felt that too.

Twitter rocks, and I follow Chris’s Twitter

I see no reason for me to waste my time with twitter.

i’m sick of all of these things! myspace, twitter, facebook, etc. ugh. just stop! pick one! i cant stand people doing this!

I have had a twitter account for a while and I just used it as a way to post information on my website as an RSS feed.

After reading your post, it woke me up to what its all about and how great it is. Even though I don’t have many followers, Im finding myself updating it all the time and im addicted!

If you have a mac, download twitterific for the desktop. http://twitter.com/downloads
There are also other apps there but I have not tried them.

Twitter can be interesting but there is also so much spam on there.

Hey Chris really appreciate u posted a blog regarding twitter because i when watching ur live stream i always hear from you talking about twitter and u talking about how many people follow you on twitter so i always wondered what is that.

I don’t use Twiter.

Who DOESN’T have a twitter account?

Omg put &fmt=18 to the end of the url and watch youtube vids in HD

Twitter can be fun but i can never see my self doing this. NOTE you must have a lot of time on your hands to use twitter.

Twitter is probably one of the best web apps out there right now if you don’t really want to blog but just want to update people on what you’re doing.

I just hate the people that add on 1,000+ people somehow at once (I assume there is some random follower bot.) just to get them to look at their Twitter profile.

Also, yes. I follow Chris on Twitter too.

i think i am going to make a twitter now. sounds interesting

interesting video…

he didn’t update it in a while….an hour, i leave mine for weeks and days LOL

Twitter, so they could better communicate with their fan-base. I decided to take this as an opportunity (as I wanted the same feature for myself), and wrote http://socialtoo.com to do just that for them. They both signed up (see Chris Pirillo’s posthere- he mistakingly thought I worked for Twitter), and Guy Kawasaki generously offered to promote the book Jason and I wrote, “I’m On Facebook–Now What???” via his blog. The funny thing is I was actually able to use Guy
