Twitter Me This, Twitter Me That

Jan 27., 2009 View Comments

I’ve been using Twitter for a while now and everytime I mention it to someone who isn’t down with the Tweets inevitably asks “What the hell is Twitter?!”

Another inevitability is that the second I open my mouth to try and explain it I turn into a combination of Lenny from “Of Mice and Men” and Timmy from South Park.

This is where David Seah came to the rescue. In his recent blog post, he explained why he likes Twitter which, oddly enough, explains why many people like Twitter:

…it offers a good balance of chatter and informal connection during the day. Unlike email, chat, instant messaging or Facebook, Twitter allows me to just skim the surface of what’s going on in the world, and I can participate back without having to invest a lot of time writing. The 140-character limit to each “tweet” is also good for me, as I tend to run really long in the prose department.

So there you have it. If you’re down with the Tweets, follow me @deguia
