Against by better judgment, I've started using Twitter. It may be fun. Alternatively, it may be a massive event horizon that swallows my time. Probably both.

Some initial thoughts:
Twitter, unlike Facebook, MySpace et al, doesn't use the word "friend" in the much looser internet sense of the word. That can only be a good thing.
Instead, of "friends", Twitter allows you to amass "followers". Don't think I haven't succumbed to noticed your feeble play to stroke my ego, Twitter.
It's really, really moreish. Like crack. Not that I take crack. I don't. Is this thing on?
It's a bit more conversational than Facebook, or even email.
"Tweeting" sounds really effete. Why couldn't they have called it Roarer, or Shouter, or perhaps Belcher?
I'm greatly appreciating the chance to read the innermost thoughts of Neil Gaiman, Charlie Brooker, Stephen Fry and Warren Ellis. ...
