Ironically, I just started incorporating Twitter into my daily internet life a couple of weeks ago. I had tried using it last year but, at the time, I didn't have text messaging and it wasn't as fun. Now that I have texting capabilities, Twitter is a blast! I can tweet from places where I wouldn't normally be able to get on a blog. Last year I took a vacation and was at a hotel without free internet. It would have been fun to tweet from my phone occasionally and tell people about the cool things that were happening.
On my own Twitter account, I tweet about whatever comes to mind. It's nothing earth shattering, but it's my life. I also reply to friends and celebrities I follow. It makes it more like a conversation between friends and less like tweeting into the void.
I have used the search function before, but I gave it another whirl today. I did a search on Natasha Richardson to see what people were saying about her unexpected death. There were thousands of tweets on the subject, each one expressing sadness for her family and shock that such a seemingly minor accident could have caused her death.
I know some people think Twitter is a waste of time. Why would anyone want to know what's going on in someone else's life at any given moment? Personally, I think it's fun. I especially like following some of the more verbose celebrities (like Stephen Fry). It's a peek into someone else's life. I say, tweet away!
