I use Twitter. (same name as here in fact)
I like it because I can keep up with friends, product updates for things I have, and the news. I can also make my updates private for friends only…
Some people don’t like Twitter because it can get intrusive. (like, if you set up WAY too many SMS alerts so your phone is going off every 2 min.) or some may find that many updates are boring (yes, some of my friends post EVERYTHING that they do, no matter how mundane -snore)
But I think there are a lot of interesting people out there and Twitter is what you make it to be. I think it can be especially great for families, who could use it to check up on each other and see what’s going on in their lives.
