Twitter?

Today I am supposed to post on something that will make your life easier. Well, I’m not sure yet about this one, but I’m hoping to see if it helps me keep in touch with my friends & family. Besides, several people have asked me what “Twitter” is. I’m probably not the best person to answer because I just can’t seem to figure it out for myself. Actually, I’ve figured it out, but I don’t have anyone to Twitter to that is on Twitter. Never mind me, let me tell you what Twitter says Twitter is:
Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that allows users to send “updates” (or “tweets”; text-based posts, up to 140 characters long) to the Twitter website, via short message service (SMS), instant messaging, or a third-party application such as Twitterrific or Facebook.
Updates are displayed on the user’s profile page and instantly delivered to other users who have signed up to receive them. The sender can restrict delivery to those in his or her circle of friends (delivery to everyone is the default). Users can receive updates via the Twitter website, instant messaging, SMS, RSS, email or through an application. For SMS, four gateway numbers are currently available: short codes for the United States, Canada, and India, as well as a United Kingdom number for international use. Several third parties offer posting and receiving updates via email.
Sooooo, if you want to Twitter with me and keep in touch throughout the day, click on the link under my Twitter box and I’ll send you a tweet now and then.

my dad used to call me twit…..
Alrighty, yesterday I found Twitter and signed up…did you ever see my “tweets”, I feel like I have a lisp now…lol…okay not so funny…but anyhoo I am signed up and I will try to leave mine up today….I live in the boonies and DSL is not available to me so I only have dial-up…but gonna have my celly on…and leave this on all day to see if anyone can see me “twittering”….wow…hope that made sense
What I need is a website that tells me what I need to do next so I don’t forget my kiddos art classes, homework assignments, etc. I think that would be more productive instead of telling other people what I’m doing… espeically since I don’t even know if I’m coming or going half the time.
