Twitter, Tweeting, Twixt, mmm...Twix!

Now I've got the blog thing going again, Web 2.0 throws "Microblogging" at me.  Posting a one-liner of your thoughts or your current activity or the last meal you ate in 140 characters or less is what microblogging is all about. 

We've all seen the world of microblogging or "tweeting" already in your Facebook profile.  It's that part where you fill in your status, i.e. "Asif is...eating a Twix".  The folks at Obvious came up with Twitter as a means of live blogging.  Pretty interesting idea, and from what I have seen thus far, it's something that fits in with SMS popular places like Europe.  I don't think it's caught on up here in Canada yet.  Give it time.  We'll jump on the bandwagon I'm sure (1-2 years later!).

You can see my tweets at http://twitter.com/alwadi, off to the right of this page in the widgets sidebar, or now directly integrated into my Facebook profile.

One drawback with live microblogging - and the drawback of being society being so hyper-connected - is that is it absolutely necessary for everyone to know that you're eating a Twix?

imho
