I think it's kind of cool to see what your friends and colleagues are up to... would love to hear your thoughts after using it for a while.

Chris Harrison

I personnally have tested Twitter a certain time but then i cancelled my account because after a high time at the beginning i simply didn't post anything new to it. Why? Because i rather blog and i almost have not enough time do handle this. That's my opinion about this topic. As i wrote before: Nice redesign, Wolfgang.

Benjamin

I love the idea of Twitter, I really do. I think its great being able to see what everyone is up to in a non-intrusive and quick way. However, until such times as they can upgrade their server farm I just can't use it. It really is one of the slowest apps I use, which is a shame really!

Sam

I think, it's a cool idea. I think there are many possibilities for adding this updates to twitter, like widgets for mac, or may be including in your blog or other things. I hope there will coming some cool apps for twitter :) @Sam Yea, Twitter is really slow.. that's right.

Dennys Hess

Initially, I resisted Twitter, but just recently I gave in and created a Twitter account. I am with Sam, it really can improve on speed and performance to make the user experience better. So far, during my two days of usage, it went into maintenance mode quite often, and a lot of times sending an update takes years. However, I do also think that Twitter has a lot of potential depending how you use it. Although the initial idea is to update to your followers on things you are doing right now, but we should not be restricted by that. Yesterday, I found twitterfiction and I think it serves an example of different Twitter usage. Anyway, I really hope they overcome server-side difficulties soon, so the system is stable and responsive.

I think you forgot to mention your Twitter address? I actually had this ide and had started writing it when Twitter came out. I binned it then.

Zach Inglis

Hmm, I had used twitter sometime ago but then lost interest. I really do feel that sometimes people spend updating their twitter status so much that hardly any real work is done. Also, I do not understand what potential does twitter has in terms of making it really useful other than just a mass announcement tool. I would be glad if someone could explain this.

Anshul

Tried it for a while. But it doesn't really do anything that my status message in chat didn't already do for me for a couple of years already - especially because I really only care to share that sort of info with people whom I would already have in my chat app. And at least my chat status shows up for everyone instantly...

endekks

i don't use it, cause the people who want to see my status could do this on my IM tool of choice, i don't see any need for an online service, thats slow and offers kinda ugly websites for exactly the same thing ICQ or sth. like that has done for years now.

fabian

Well, I use twitter because I can, and because there are (unbelievable) people who are interested in what I am doing and in what I'm up to. But this is not the only reason. As you said, it's kind of "mini instant blogging" and believe it or not, I've found a few very interesting websites through twitter. Last but not least I really think it's a good and easy way to communicate and to share thoughs... So my address is: www.twitter.com/superdeluxe ... feel free to follow me. ;-)

Milos

I won't user Twitter at anytime, because I prefer talking to my friends and asking them what they do if they don't have time. There are more interesting things around that I could fill my time with.

sibbe

The question at twitter: what are you doing? Well, what do you think I'm doing? Wasting time by typing stupid messages! Ain't that cool? To be bored, or not to be bored: that's the question!

Marc

There are many reasons why I use it, a lot of them mentioned already: the stream of consciousness, the micro-blogging, the sharing of ideas. Personally, I would also add proximity. Many of the people I've grown to care for, whose blogs I follow, have now 'come closer'. No need for intricate, opinionated posts, no need for chats, just sharing bits and pieces of our lives that help us get to know each other on another level.

Nils

Twitter is not interesting at all... after a while using it, seems like a *eyecandy del.icio.us*... with _less_ features: just to show updated bookmarks.

Ricardo

@Ricardo: I don't know how you've managed to equate it with 'eyecandy del.icio.us'--you must not be using it right. Twitter's value is in it's ability to broadcast passively to my close network of friends. It's not social bookmarking, it's not true blogging, and it's not instant messaging. It is reall really SLOW lately though...

DanD

It's a victim of it's own success... Most of the time IM doesn't work... and the web access can be incredibly slow... but SMS works extremely well.

Chris Harrison

Eh, looks good but its a shame i'm stuck on Windows and dont have the proper OS :)

James David

I think twitter rocks. In so many situation i wish to have something to read... e.g. while launching photoshop etc. I dont have to search for something to read... i already have interesting stuff in my tweetbar :) http://twitter.com/labuschin

Martin Labuschin

I think twitter answer to a new web feeling. Before we found blog with big post, now you find a twitter with micro post and blog to complete network publication.

Sylvain

I think twitter is a totally useless concept. But it follows the trend to shake out your private life in public. People always complain that we are on the way to generate the "transparent citizen" but most of them do their best to support this by themselves And I don't think that it's appropriate to compare such tools with the concept of weblogs. It's just a toy in the "Webzwonull-Community-Social-Software-PR"-Hype.

René

Not feeling the twitter vibe - but I'm luvin Tumblr.com Here's my Tumblr tummelog - "www.juxtanews.com":url

kevin

I am L.O.S.T. in the jungle of the social networking sites and I am not sure if I should use any of them...

Respiro, the logo designer

I'm enjoying twitter alot. Been addicted ever since I signed up. http://www.twitter.com/beerad

Brad Chmielewski

cool thing --- nice sutff i enjoy twitter ...

Oliver

Wish I had a mac so I could try Twitter out. And, _lovely_ redesign/realign. It's so simple, yet incredible eye candy.

Tyler

Well you don't necessarily have to own a Mac to use Twitter. Twitter is actually a web based service and Twitterrific is just one out of many desktop clients :)

Wolfgang

nice, cool stuff great

Max Vesper

so when your working in photoshop cs2 and you switch tools or go to the color palette or to the type tool photoshop freezes up on you? I always that it was my computer, not photoshop.

Matt Johnson

Yes, Photoshop CS2 freezes every now and then - I'm pretty sure that this is a Photoshop related issue, because I experienced the same problems on three Macs. So hopefully this is gonna be fixed in CS3.

Wolfgang

ah, some answers at last! Well I'm relieved to hear that its not my computer - thought it won't really matter - upgrading that as well. Thanks!

Matt Johnson

I already find enough ways during the day to distract myself from being productive.

Jon Buda

The background on your twitter page is really nice

alej74

hmm good :)

Ahmet Alp Balkan

I tried Twitter with skepticism as I truly don't get it. After two weeks on and off, I gave up. What a lowsy idea... Even if people are reading what you're doing (most aren't), what's the point? And if you're reading what others are doing wouldn't you feel like you're not living your life.... busy living through others? Strange culture.

Scott Mackenzie

Even thought no on reads or cares about me. I still update my twitter. I have my twitter link on my MSN name and sometimes my friends read me.

Haris

I love twitter and the way it works.. It's so much fun to see what other people do and to share my life with them... You all can find me at "this link":http://twitter.com/mywayhome ... All the best from bonn, germany. Oli
