Why Twitter is Inane (fourreasonswhy.com)

I love Twitter (mattc58) regardless of what it says about my apparent ego and anti-privacy fetishes.


Yeah, I've got to admit to being quite addicted. I like twitter and tumblr because they feel liberating in comparison to "blogging." I always felt like I had to craft and labor over what I want to say rather than just saying it. I'd rather spend my time hacking and then tweet or post a few thoughts or questions and move on. I'm a developer, not a journalist.


We use twitter for actual work. :-)

A cron script monitors site availability. If the site is down, it uses twitter to IM or SMS us. :-)


Cool idea, but boy you don't want to depend on Twitter being alive.
