I'd like to perhaps mention my thoughts on career, goals, prospective employer, interview result, ??? on Twitter but it's not possible because my latest 1-2 tweets show up in Google results. I too disliked Twitter at first, I signed up in Dec. 06. But after I tried it again in October and had many more people to follow/be-followed-by, in addition to using an AIR client, it became fun. I was first using Tweet-r, but saw from one of your posts that it hogged memory...I checked it out myself and sure enough. You and Luc were using Twhirl and that's now primarily what I use. The browser version is boring. Regarding privacy, yeah that is a bit of a bummer.

But that's alright, I won't drop my daily delicous either ;) @Nicholas: I wouldn't compare the Facebook status message with tweets. Apart from the fact that they're both short, both concepts are quite different. There's a genuine conversation on Twitter these days, it's more than just saying where you're at or what you're doing at the moment... which is pretty much all you can do in the Facebook status message. @Alan: Totally agree on privacy, although not related to Twitter only probably, but people indeed tend to forget (or are unaware) of how you all you say is stored and searchable on the web. It's attached to your identity sort of. Totally right. @Ann & Gavin: Thanks for the comment, and yes Ann I do agree that some of it isn’t a recipe for succes on Twitter only.

Here's <a href="http://idiots.blogspot.com/2008/01/twitter-is-your-social-messaging-as.html" rel="nofollow">my post on the subject</a>. It's not all bad news, but it's really worth keeping in mind.

Until now I have a very strong feeling of not using twitter - simply because I can't understand my own personal usage of it (I can understand it for others). I find the facebook status more that sufficient, and they have badges to propagate that around (wherever you put it). So, yes, I still can ask if people wants a drink, or what's good book to read, and get replies. Please tell me, why twitter ? When I have a hectic work life, and family life. Plus, my RSS reader is full blogs from professionals, and friends. Also, all the RSS from websites - so much to read! Maybe when I was studying. Thank you for posting this experience Kris.

I have been a bit quiet on Twitter recently ... but I do still find it valuable. If only to listen in to the conversation. Great round up, Kris.

And yet I don't feel sorry about it. When I annotate my links in del.icio.us, I in fact try to make the first 100-something characters that will be dumped to twitter as meaningful as possible so it servers both purposes... My twitter account is mainly those links, apart from some @replies to some people... which means that people who follow it, do it for the links. (on the other hand: I _do_ hate daily del.icio.us postings in blogs :-D ) I’m one of those linkdumpers…
