Finally it happened, I joined the masses and added myself to Twitter and thus joined the Twitter hype.

Twitter is a website through which you can tell your ‘followers’ what you are currently doing and through which you can follow other people. They themselves describe it as follows: “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?”

My first reaction, was the same reaction I had towards the SecondLife hype: “Really, I am NOT going to join it, just because it is a hype”. Then I had a interesting talk with Kim who convinced me to use Twitter and not because it is a hype, but because it can be useful. Examples:

• Let your colleagues/friends know which projects your are currently working on. A lot can happen very quickly and the 140 characters Twitter allows you to use is just enough for one good tweet (one Twitter message) to Keep It Simple Stupid.
• Let your friends know what you are doing. The best example I could imagine: “I am sitting in bar/cafe X in city Y, anyone want to join me for a drink/bite to eat?”
• It integrates perfectly with my G1 (using twidroid).

So if you want to see what I am doing, you can read my Twitter page. I will try not to post useless stuff, but I can not promise anything at this time
