I joined Twitter over the weekend kind of on accident. I mean, I don't really know if anyone reads my updates, and only three people in my Gmail address book were on the site. I'm "following" three of my third-tier friends, even though it looks like they joined the site and stopped updating it over 6 months ago.
But what I love about Twitter is being able to text to update from my iPhone. And it's linked to my Facebook status. And if I'm on Gmail chat, I see my Twitter buddy and send it an update too.
I joined because there is some kind of iPhone SDK app called iTweet. I am still doing research, but I'm curious what others out there do with Twitter. It's kind of the ultimate "seen and be seen" site, right?

it's not really about being followed - but in the following. it's not very useful, rather pedestrian, and utterly addictive. it's the back channel to the internet
Morgan,
Thanks for stopping by IATC and offering some great insight into Twitter. I'm still not sure I get why I'd follow people on Twitter or how to make their updates sent to me as quickly as I can update my Twitter but I'll keep researching.
Those articles are great!
