More on twitter

Earlier on, I wrote about Twitter as a means to get productive. Twitter is somewhat unimaginable if you haven't tried it. 140 character blog? web based asynchronuous IM? duh?
I felt the same way since I first got introduced to it. Initially, of course its not so fun when friends are not on it, you're tweeting (twitter-speak for broadcasting) to a whole bunch of strangers what you are doing. But after a while it becomes fun to be able to read all the stuff people put up; and somewhere amongst the noise, you get a message like: New blog post http: yada-yada yada.
Then I began to realise that, Hey, there is some use for this, too. Especially when you need to run out for a while, or you suddenly need to find out things like "a quick show of hands, who watched the last episode of x files?"

So here's a nice piece that explains it all. Thanks to socialmediatoday (SMT) for putting this up.
