I've been really against the whole social networking 'scene' purely because it was never useful for me and didn't serve a purpose. Plus it all looked convoluted and too much maintenance for me to bother, as the myspaces and facebooks looked all to similar to blogging. And you know that my blogs are few and far inbetween.

A recent post over at Darth_Homerpointed me to Twitter, at first I had the same feeling towards it as the others. However I decided to make an account and add alot of the industry people just to follow and keep updated on the very latest news and whatnot.
However, what I found was a very simple and straightforward client to just post bitsized thoughts. Right up my alley.

You see, I don't blog much because when I want to blog there's been such a large gap between since I last blogged that I find there is (usually) quite a bit I want to put down, but that takes alot of time and I really cbf so twitter appeals to me in that regard where I can just update something when it happens and not have to compile everything into one big medium.

So now I'm doing the whole Twitter 'thing', and quite enjoy it.

I'm much the same. I've avoided all the other social networking sites/tools until I got this. It is just a handy little versatile tool and I've placed a program to "tweet" on every damn thing I can. I have Quakk on my Windows Mobile, Twitteriffic on my touch, Twitterdeck on my netbook, Twitterfox on my laptop, I use the web version on the home PC....now just to find something for the toaster.

@dylanmcc - wow your crazy, must have alot of spare time to write up stuff on all the sites!

@mjcowley - check out twitterfon on the pod, I think its a much better client. Allows you to check out your friends followers and following and then add those people as well should you choose. Lots more functionality I found than twitteriffic.

I'm not one for social networking, I find it boring and tedious.
