No but I never though it would amount to anything, just something else to mess about with. However, I can see its uses now, and it seems pretty great, I'll seriously ponder it on my companies blog. Some of those other plugings etc are blummin useful, you should attach a $$$ on them :) That's fab, I always thought twitter was just some other "teen" thing, man I sound old saying that!

Took a bit to find the urge to tweet, but I'm over that now. The problem I found was getting other people hooked too. I’m hooked on the twitter too.

Great! The only thing that annoys me are people who use twitter instead of IM—resulting in endless discussions and a ton of txt messages on my mobile ;-) I just experienced this some days ago—posted a tweet where I reported a problem I had with some Ruby on Rails and boom, there was the solution.

I better make some use of it along with some other things I signed up for and haven't used yet. : I signed up for it a while ago (after discovering the link to it on this site…) and I still only updated it once.

It's a nice way of seeing what people with similar interests are up to. The only downside is that if the other users don't have you as a friend then you can't join in with the fun. Like the other day Andy Clarke was doing a guessing game with fellow 'peers' like Hicks Design and Simplebits etc and I wanted to join in, but obviously couldn't. The works both positive and negative as whilst users feel left out due to 'eliteism' you also get to choose who you get feeds from. I also feel like a seedy stalker sometimes. Like I have you (Matt) as a friend but due to it being one way, as much as I like seeing what others are up to, it seems a little strange.

I like it even better than Twitter. It allows you to track different feeds of one users, for instance his del.icio.us bookmarks, his blog posts, his tweets, the songs he plays etc...

I figured maybe I caught them at a bad time during heavy traffic or upgrades? Oh well, it's a fun way to keep people up to date...if I can remember to update it, ha. @Jesse, I am in the EXACT same boat as you and I was on my way here to make a post about how ridiculously slow it's been the past day that I have been using it.
