Thing 13 - Twitter

I tried out Twitter. My screen name is beverlyjw1978. I would not use Twitter to actually let people know what I am doing or my thoughts at the moment. But I could see a use if you had a group and wanted to contact everyone quickly. Your group ofcourse would have to be logged on to their twitter account. I am following 4 people from NLC and have 1 follower. I tried the direct message, a reply, and the tiny url. I got an "error on page" message when I was trying the direct reply. I think this application is interesting once you get beyond the thought that this is used to microblog to let people know "what you are doing".
