Twitter Tools & Goodies!

Have you jumped on the bandwagon of Twitter? Perhaps you're already a full blown twitter addict and can't stop twitting away, for the rest of you check it out! In case you aren't aren't familiarly with Twitter, a quick way to summarize the service is: social networking or Micro-blogging service which allows users to post/answer the question of: What are you doing? Users to interact with a large or small group of people instantly via web, IM, Direct Msg or mobile! Here is a simple way to see where people are, what they are doing, what is being read or who has information to a question you have dancing around in your head. Users get to make their friend requests and add/deny as many as they choose to . Whether you want a large group to communicate with or keep is small and intimate that's a choice each individual makes.

Twitters clean and easy to understand interface makes posting comments & adding friends one click away! Check out the large community with well know people in the mix that are pretty easy to talk to and befriend.

I find twitter to be great for informational purposes and socially fun as well! One downer to this service is that I find they are often "experiencing" issues, their site is down or posts are delayed, but I'm confident that those issues will be fixed shortly.
