Get on Twitter now. M'kay? Thx.
Here's mine. Add me and start posting. I need more banal, mundane updates to read.

Well thats different :confused:
You have to get in, use it, and add some people to follow before the hook gets set. There are third party clients which display public messages on a timed basis, for instance, which greatly enhance the experience. "Twitterrific" for OSX is a great example.
Most of the Tech TV/podcasting crew are on it, and a lot of the links they post are really useful/interesting. Even Henry Rollins is on it, but he hasn't posted in a couple weeks. :)
But what if I don't want to know what you are doing every 5 minutes? :lol2:
Then watch the public feed of people far more interesting than me.
What I want to know is, has anyone put out a sidebar Twitter app for Vista yet?
Try this...
First thing I found doing a google on "Twitter gadget".
Dunno how it its. Probably others out there as well.
What I like about it is that a lot of people put up links, so it becomes more of a "Digg" experience when you watch the public feed scroll by. Every page refresh delivers 3-4 links that I haven't seen before.
Since you're an even bigger geek than me, you might like this. This guy has twittered his home.

Have fun.
Pretty cool concept, although I'd rather Twitter stick to human generated posts. The public feed is already seeing it's first bot generated messages. They need to add a feature which lets you ignore selected user accounts.
The "Friends" feed is as controlled as you want it to be, but it's fun to surf the public stream from time to time to find new stuff.
BTW, for folks here who are not already in "the know".
