Remember back when Twitter was da bomb?
When it first started, it had really blown up, since for some weird reason people were all too keen to publish their most private thoughts or actions to this little web 2.0 thingie. Twitter-centered sites kept coming up and everyone was happy tweeting.
Did I jump on the bandwagon? Oh boy, didn’t we all.

After a while though, constantly posting tweets was rapidly becoming a drag. To be frank, I was too busy to goof off with the little bird on my desktop that kept chirping and chirping. It stopped being that much fun.
But sometimes at nights, I missed the goofy thing. You can say what you want, that thing was fun. So I came back to Twitter.
Beware: pompous words ahead…
Now that my Twitter persona has matured, I think I use it more efficiently to keep track of my day. When I’m at home, Twitter helps me not staying idle (except when I’m on WoW) since its constant chirping from friends means one thing: people are doing things and I don’t! Buckle up!
Moreover, Twitter has become a good source of inspiration for blogging and a place where I can outsource all my failed blogging ideas, which turn to tweets. Plus, it has always been a great way of meeting people.
Ain’t that fun?
Do you use Twitter? Did you leave and then come back, like me?

I don’t like twitter. It takes your time and energy and gives you… what exactly? You explained but I am still not convinced.
As long as it works for you it’s fine, but I can’t make it work for me.

@porcupine: First of all, the whole clue of Twitter is that it takes the least energy and time to work.
You can use it to micro-blog, communicate with friends or inform the ‘nets that you’re not in the mood for talking, for example, all very simply.
All in all, I think Twitter is just another aspect of our ever-evolving Internet personas. It’s all a matter of giving it a chance for more than 2 days..
P.S. Plus, it’s fun to hear that chirp at 3 in the morning, when you think all is lost and everyone’s asleep.
