Just curious if anyone here uses Twitter? Personally, I'm thoroughly addicted now

If you don't know what Twitter is....well, I can't help b/c I'm always at a loss to describe it...but this article is fairly good at breaking it down, if you're curious.

Anyway, just wondering if anyone else out there twittered...

using twitter as a verb, that's pretty much what we do here

But I think it's blocked at work and I've never had time to sign up at home and give it a go.

I think it's a great little tool...it's a great way to keep in touch, too...not only do I tweet about what I'm doing, but I also tweet at friends & such...great way to reach out to others if they need it...or even when you're the one who needs the moral support ;)

Hmm this interests me somewhat. Can strangers see your twitters or just people that you allow to see it?

There is a privacy setting within Twitter - you can either set your tweets as "public" (strangers & everyone else on the web can see 'em) OR you can set it so that only ppl you approve can see what you're twittering ;)
