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.

The twitter stuff I see on LJ is mostly just irritating. I'm not sure there's a good use for it in the social context. I do see the value of the support use vakkotaur is talking about.

As I said, if you need a log of IMs, twitter seems to be the easy way to go. But most IMs just plain aren't worth logging, IMHO.
