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.

I have an account and I thought it was a white elephant until I found the IM version. You can track topics such as "Linux" and see what people are talking about. I've found out about more than a few cool new apps and Web sites.

And here I am, trying to find ways to have to track *fewer* channels of information, rather than more.... :-0
