Welcome to Twitter

Heard of Twitter? Twitter is a social networking and micro-blogging service that allows users to send updates via SMS, instant messaging, the Twitter website or 3rd party applications.
I recently wrote an article about these kinds of technique for being connected and I’ve just been persuaded by my Dutch friend and IT guru Oskar van Rijswijk – who got me started as a blogger – to try Twitter with him.
Apparently Alan Johnson – my preferred candidate for the election for Labour Party Deputy Leader – is the first politician in the UK to become a twitterer – more information here. Good to see a former postman being so Net-savvy.

    What’s the point?
    Twittering used to be a derogatory comment about someone who twittered on and drove you to distraction.
