I use it a little, mostly to keep up with my old college friends. It's alot like the status feature of Facebook. Basically just tell what you are doing...and if you want to mention someone in particular you use the @ symbol and their username.

I twitter (and twinkle on my iPhone.)

It's kind of like... mass instant messaging, but it's asynchronous.

I'm AlexMorse on twitter if anyone wants to follow.

lol!

I don't think it has enough current to give a real shock, but I'll have to think about the warranty now...

I've added you. I"m "dbphotos" if anyone cares to follow me. I don't post much, usually when sitting in an airport or stuck in traffic.

Just started using it recently. No one else I know uses it. It's not something I see myself doing long-term, but on boring days, I do use it. Here's mine, if anyone cares what I'm up to.

Upate 11/10/09: I canceled mine. Felt like I was on information overload!

I'm a twitter addict, I will admit. It has much more benefit when you are following and interacting with people. I'm photine on Twitter.

Common Craft did a video titled Twitter in Plain English that you can check out.
