Twitter
I've just joined.

What's it all about?

So far it just seems like a glorified version of Facebook's status thing. Mind you, Facebook has become a bit of a behemoth, so maybe Twittering is the way forward.

Anyway, what I'm after is suggestions of who to 'follow' - yes, I'd love to follow your mum.

I do like Twittering
It's nice. 140 characters. Sometimes it can be interesting, sometimes in can be banal. So far, I'm not following anybody who I don't know (or know of, like Stephen Fry or David Mitchell)- and it's sometimes nice when a celebrity answers messages. It's like getting a personal text from them.

I really really really
don't feel the need to publicly broadcast what I am doing or feeling at any given moment.

If people want to know they can ask! I don't understand all these social networking sites.

@ Son of Sam
You have a point.
I have to say though that I do have an idle curiosity to know what some people are up to....

I could go on at length about the nature of social cohesion and blah, blah, blah, but I can't be arsed.

I'll probably fiddle with Twitter for a few days and then ignore it.

I like Twitter
But I only follow a couple of people (Stephen Fry is well worth following!).

I had some random guy follow me though... makes me feel weird, not in a good way.
