Hugh Macleod has a great post about his affinity for Twitter (and a nice little “birdie” icon).
Besides noting that he doesn’t really use Facebook anymore (a trend I find myself in as well), he has this great quote:
Yesterday, I joked on Twitter, “Note to World: If you’re not on Twitter, I don’t want to make friends with you.” Like all humor, there is some truth to it. I find people who use Twitter much easier to communicate with, than with people who don’t. As a result, Twitter has become the main engine I use these days for cultivating my social network. I’m not saying it’s the best thing out there, I’m not saying it’s the only thing out there, I’m just saying that it’s currently working rather well for me.
I have to agree. If people used Twitter, instead of email, for short messages to me it would make my life easier and probably guarantee a quicker response, but that’s a whole post unto itself.
If you’re on Twitter, please feel free to add me. If you’re not on Twitter yet, now’s the time to start.
