I do. It’s pretty dumb except for Lance’s updates.

If you actually believe that Lance updates all these updates personally. :slight_smile:

I already spend too much time on Facebook. I’m afraid of what Twitter will do to my non-virtual life.

I like Twitter. Doesn’t take any time, don’t get sucked in like facebook. It’s really good for play by play updates on races. I also like that I can follow specific musicians (Pete Yorn, for example) and get pointed to new releases or rare tracks.

I believe EVERYTHING Lance says and does.

I love seeing his Tweets about picking up his kids from school.

What is your ID? I need to know what you are doing on an hourly basis.

8

I just caved and got one. My handle is my same username as here.

Fascinating as my life is, I don’t really tweet very often. I read more than write.

I have my doubts about twitter. For the vast majority of people and companies it’s mighty presumptive to think that anyone gives a shit about you enough to follow your every move. Facebook, Myspace, and the typical blog all do a more than sufficient job at providing me all the information I need on anyone I care about. Maybe I just don’t “get it” yet.

You can setup Twitter/Facebook so that when you twitter, your Facebook page updates automatically.

And the same thing is true for your blog.

Who all here has a twitter account?

I’ve often wondered this about the whole “Blog” thing in general. Who on earth wants to read what I did today? Anyone that would care I actually talk to on a daily basis. Combine this with the fact that I’m pretty much and introvert and the whole “Blog” thing leaves me entirely beffuddled.

As a business tool I think it would actually be detrimental. “Blog” does not equal “Professional” in my mind unless you’re in journalism.
