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.

Wonder if Verizon scans twitter? I've wanted them to do something about my damned land line for ages... Worth a try, I suppose.

For my part, I'm following twitters of the three major Presidential candidates, in the hopes of being able to carve out enough attention to get news on them in 140-character soundbites. We'll see how that works.
