To Twitter Or Not To Twitter?

Well it has been too long since my last posts... I feel like something is really missing in my life!

I was just listening to a podcast by thenewmediology on Twitter and thought I should give it another go. Basically you give an update in less than 140 characters...
I suppose I thought, 'Who cares?!' ... but sinse listening to their podcast... I found out that there is more to Twitter than just 'What am I doing right now'... here are 5 other questions that Nathan Moore and Bill Seaver suggest that you could answer:

• What did you learn?
• What made you laugh?
• What do you need an answer to?
• What are you thankful for?
• What ticks you off?

If any of this intrigues you, why not download the podcast for free off of iTunes? What tips do you have for using Twitter... or how have you found the using of social media to be helpful? I look forward to your comments!
