Chirp.

Today, I opened an account on twitter.com.

Why? Because landley and fadethecat have recently done so.

I'm still trying to figure out what the point of twitter is. To my mind, it combines the annoying elements of both blogging and IMing without incorporating the good points of either. So why twitter? To have a mini-blog on your phone? Since I can read and post to my LiveJournal from my Blackberry, I still don't see the point.

But maybe I'll find a use for twitter now that I have an account. So, for now, chirp.

It's not for everyone, sure. I find it's a way to channel my stream of consciousness babble so that it feels like someone is listening--even if there's no response--while in theory saving more interesting extended things for my livejournal.

It's mostly making me realize that I don't have a lot to post on LJ except my stream of consciousness "Today was like every other day" babble. But that just means I need to get better at coming up with interesting things to talk about.

If it does something for you, great! But I'm willing to experiment, for awhile anyhow.

Or, maybe it means you need to post to LJ less often, and do other forms of writing instead. :-)

Possibly that too!
