Does anyone else use it?

It is strangely compelling once you reach a certain critical mass of people to follow. I'm here:

In before self-righteous WHAT'S THE POINT OF TWITTER I HATE BANDWAGONS posts from, I'm guessing, Sine and Rent.

I'm actually making it a point to avoid it, because I think it will only feed my already long list of online distractions. Twitter is basically a page of away messages - which is a great idea, because back in the day people used to put a lot of care into those. And I'd obsessively check them. I don't need encouragement!

edit: Jeremy Parish uses Twitter. I already check his site multiple times a day. Damnit.

Halo 3 is not good, nor of this world--it was clearly forged from some black pit in the heart of Mount Doom to ensnare the hearts of idiots everywhere.

On topic: Twitter seems sorta fun, I don't really get it--a lot of webcomics have a twitter up, so I guess its...like...a bulletin board or something.

hadouken bump!

Bovine is on twitter and enjoys the company of tessian, blotus, and andrew... so why aren't you other guys twitter friends with me? Remember, I'm cool, so you'll be cool by twitter-association. Also, you can read all my tweets about my skills with a sniper rifle, which I would certainly like to tell you about.

OK, I guess I haven't been online enough lately, but what is a "Twitter"? I am near certain I heard a senile old lady refer to a radio as a twitter before =P

Everytime I hear someone talk about Twitter, I think of this:

not enough talk about becoming my twitter friend, but I think the level of talk about poop is just about right..... though perhaps still lacking a smidge.

well, if you noticed my super constant and steady barrage of status updates, that is because twitter is tied to my facebook. It's like twitter makes it easier for me to ignore facebook because it looks like I'm still super active on it.
