Just started to Twitter
There was a time years ago when I was working on Wall Street when I used to use the UNIX command finger to check on the status of friends and share "state" information about myself. And then I remember using Yahoo! Instant Messenger and Live Journal to capture my "state" when Blogging or IMing. Fast forward to the present and now there is Twitter.
After watching Chris Brogan Twitter about life, I decided to add Twitter to my blog and join the community of people who Twitter.
One of the things I like about Twitter is that no special software is needed. And in fact I can Twitter from my cell phone just by sending SMS or I can Twitter whenever I have a browser open.
If you would like to give Twitter a try click here.
See you on Twitter.

I'm in love with Twitter myself! I even wrote a quick Windows95/98/2k/xp interface - twitter submitter w32 and twtview - plus figured out the geek way to submit updates to twitter without using twitter (just a simple 18 lines of html)

Twitter is definitely open for lots of possibilities which have barely been explored. I, too, used to "finger" myself and others back in unix days -- (still sounds 'wrong' to say it) - it's addictive.
Twitter was just a long time coming and that Twitter API makes it really easy to gnash together your own interface with only an http: connection of some sort. Some ppl are working on email interfaces, others have web2.0 software that can send their updates to twitter (or take twitter's updates and integrate them) - really simple and brilliant.
