Twitter...The Next Big Thing?

I was invited to join Twitter yesterday by an old work mate...From what I can gather Twitter is a social network who's only feature allows users to say what you're currently doing, which seems pretty similar to Facebook's Status.

Well I signed up as it only takes a minute or two and posted my first "What are you doing?" message (I was very tempted to say Status!). Needless to say I bored relatively soon afterwards...

If you want to checkout my message, despite it probably never being updated again, go to http://twitter.com/mc_hammertime/



I think it's safe to say that this will never catch on...Maybe it would seem better, more useful or popular if it was released before Facebook or Facebook didn't have a 'Status' feature...

If you create an account add me, my username is mc_hammertime =P

P.S. despite getting in relatively early in the take up I was still unable to secure the username mcollins - damn it!
