Twittering away
These days, I am addicted to a new social networking fad - Twitter. I had almost stopped blogging because of time constraints - not enough time to lay out my thoughts into a presentable blog post.
I had registered on Twitter since February 2008 and found it too boring. It really didn't catch on. I had started using LinkedIn for professional networking and making a shift from Orkut to Facebook for keeping in touch with friends by then. One of my friends @b50 got me going on Twitter again and now, I just can't keep away from it during my free time. It is such a light weight and powerful tool for people to use.
Use it from the web, dozens of client software on almost every platform that you would imagine, a variety of mobile clients as well. I personally prefer Tweetdeck client on the PC, UberTwitter and SocialScope on the mobile and of course, the Twitpic API for sharing quick pics with my followers !
I find it amusing to be with tweeple who do tweetups often and is a much closer community than anything else I have seen online. I can feel I know many of the tweeple that I follow personally, though I may not have met many of them. Imagine sending a tweet to @having and you have your own food feed . One can think of very innovative uses of the twitter technology which uses just 140 characters to convey powerful messages.
You can just update your plain daily life for those who care and find it interesting. It makes an interesting read to follow people when you have some time. Lots of learning in there too !
This one is worth trying if you are convinced of the social networking funda - you will get addicted - be warned !

Nice post. It is always good to see people doing new and innovative things. I would like to suggest you a similarly innovative magazine - PEOPLE MATTERS started by an Indian School of Business (ISB)Hyderabad Alumni, which was suggested to me by a friend.
It deals with various important aspects of management, especially those related to Leadership & People Management, which the mainstream business publications often ignore.
It's also relatively cheap. I guess its annual subscription is about Rs. 400 which is even less than the cost of a standard Pizza.
Their last issue had a really educative article by Robert Kaplan (the father of Balanced Scorecard method) where he talks about how organisations can create opportunities out of current economic downturn.
I got its subscription online through their website: http://www.peoplematters.in
If you like the magazine, kindly refer it to others like I am doing.
Thanks
