A Little Bird Roll’d Me
Tonight’s comic is about the only Web 2.0 doodad that I buy the hype on: Twitter.
I don’t use it right. I don’t talk much about my choice of sandwich and how bad my commute it. It’s more of a stream of consciousness stand-up routine for me. Working alone in a room all day is so much easier when it seems like someone is next door. The best part? Unlike IM, there’s no rush to reply. Unlike Facebook, there’s no Zombies. You just gotta watch out for Rick Rolls.
If you’re on a Mac, I highly recommend Twitterrific. It’s a great app to collect all your Tweetery into one window. You’re all welcome to add me if you use Twitter. It’s a wonderful way to tap into the internet’s morphogenetic field. You can also get DS comic updates from Clango himself.
How do you manage your chirping, little birds?

Just in case people are curious to e-stalk me, the hidden Twitter account is mine, TheSeg. You’ll have to search a bit to see what it says…

Complaining about “Zombies” on Facebook is so six months ago!

I’d suggest Snitter…it’s a really good app, and it’s got the benefit of being an Adobe AIR application (which probably really only matters for web nerds).

I think twitterific is about the best way to go… I also post tweets via gmail’s built-in chat (well, via a chatbot… er, twitterbot)
