Twittering.

I must admit that I am disproportionately pleased with Twitter.  In many ways, the strict limitations of the system encourage me to post more.  There’s something about the microblog format that frees you to offer up a much more frequent, if less dense, amount of content on the fly.

I think it’ll be extremely interesting to use during the launch of WAR – fragments and glimpses of unvarnished front-line reportage, launched out at break-neck speed throughout the event.  Of course, if things go WELL that day, my hope would be that no one would be watching Twitter feeds due to… you know… playing the game. But still, it’s something to look forward to.

Anywho, if you haven’t already, hop on Twitter.  It’s not as ridiculous as it sounds when someone first explains it to you, I promise.

    Tell me about it…
    Recently had a breather in work/life so thought I would consume some WAR Meta Entertainment (read forums, blogs, etc)
    Came across your blog a day or two ago… read about your twitter trial. That combined with a lot of my peers in the online industry going on and on about twitter enticed me to try it out.
    Now I micro blogging at an addictive rate…
    The thing I find intriguing is the economy of words needed. And the fact I might be able to capture the essence of events rather than the self edited recollection, when I look back.

    Retrospect will be truer retrospect, a reasonable hand drawn facsimile.

    Though now that you have pushed over the edge on my Twitter indecision, not sure whether I am grateful or not, its pretty addictive!

    I’ve avoided Twitter for a year now and you’re tempting me Josh… Damn it! Alas, I must stay the course.

    Aw, c’mon. It’s like instant messaging with none of the COMMITMENT.

    “It’s like instant messaging with none of the COMMITMENT.”

    So true.
