I recently signed up for Twitter and here are my thoughts: First, I was confused by the concept. I thought, "why would ANYONE care that I'm at the bank, grocery store or working on a new project?" As I started following more people, I started to see the appeal. It's not just about a 140 word quick message, its about the connections people make and the conversations people have. People chat about work, life, home, news happenings, great blog articles and anything in general. If you have a good following/follower ratio, you can learn so much through that little 140 word message. Its all about the conversations and the connections people make. Additionally, its much less personal and invasive than a long drawn out email. Its quick, simple and easy! Now.... I'm almost embarrassed to say that I am a Twitter addict. I have Twhirl on my desktop, Twitterberry on my blackberry while my browser has Twitter open! :-Z sue Hi Toivo,

I think one of the key things though, is that the messages can be distributed however you like. Twitter lets you choose which people you follow, and of those one which ones will send SMS messages to you phone. Also because they have an open API, it's very easy for third party developers to make application, plug-ins, etc. I think it's this ability to get the messages when and where you want that makes it so appealing. I actually rarely visit the twitter site itself. I think it's just one of those things you have to try to "get"., Lexli, You are mostly right.

It's like the status feature on facebook that lets all of your friends see what you're up to. Is that right? It definitely has an appeal, but it seems like it'd need more to it than just that to stay popular in the long-run. TwitterFox is a really cool application that should only make the site even more popular since it makes it way more convenient.
