Slap BraceletFour days ago Twitter was just a word that floated around the Web. It meant nothing to me. Well, that’s not 100% true. To me it meant, ‘terrible-waist-of-time—and—a-bad-idea-to-boot.’

That has all changed. Three days ago I visited Twitter.com because I figured that I should at least know what it was before I publicly bashed it—and boy am I happy I did.

It all started back when I saw the awesome Common Craft video, Twitter in Plain English (again, that was just three day ago). Since then, I have grown to love Twitter. I am still in awe at how incomplete one feels without hearing the beloved tweets.



I should add that I am aware that Twitter is not the newest tool on the block, and I know that I am probably the last geeky-type to blog about twitter—ever. But alas, that is okay. I just hope that my new favorite pastime doesn’t become my old waist of time.

Help keep Tweeter in my life by following me.
I use twhirl on my Mac to read the micro-blog of the future (that’s what I am calling Twitter).
All the Twitter tools and mashups in one place.
p.s. I now also love Common Craft because they are super clever. Watch the video if you don’t believe me.

    That video is brilliant. I find myself wanting everything in plain english now. I’d love to see them explain the Git version control system. :)
