What are you doing?

Twitter is a website that set out to answer the question, ‘What are you doing?’Twitter is filled with people that are typing up responses to that question as well as just adding their own short commentary to life. Twitter is like a micro blog, instead of writing up longer more involved blog posts you can just post a quick thought or idea.Although thats all neat, Twitter’s real power comes when your friends sign up. You can then use Twitter to “follow” each other. You will then get updated whenever they post something. This means that you can constantly keep your friends updated on what you are doing and find out what they’re up to.You are probably wondering what’s the point of updating your friends if they can only see it when they are logged into twitter.com? Good news is that there are other ways to get your twitter notifications, including text message to your cell phone. Now you will be able to keep tabs on all your friends no matter where you are. You can also update your status by sending a text message.Another great way to get your tweets is an application called Twitterrific(Mac only) from the Iconfactory. This will deliver your tweets right to your desktop.If anyone is interested in my random thoughts you can find my Twitter here. Now go and let the world know what YOU are doing.*Remember, a great service for putting long URLs in Twitter messages is TinyURL(link).
