I’m Blogging About Twitter

Typing that subject line both amuses and disturbs me at the same time…
When the iPhone apps started to be released, I saw that there were some Twitter apps released for free. I didn’t use Twitter, but I knew about it. The joke in “my circle” was that twitter was great to tell people when you were scratching…but good for little else.
I signed up, out of curiosity, and have been twittering or tweeting or twhatevering now for a few days. It’s fun, like a chat room is fun, but it’s also of limited value.
I have questions
* How often is too often to twitter?
* Who should I follow? Only people I know face-to-face or anybody at all?
* When should I block? Is there really any point to blocking people?
* If I invoke Godwin’s Law in a twitter conversation, do I get extra points?
* Why does twitter sometimes create a tinyurl and sometimes include the entire URL?
* Honestly, if I started following 100 people, would there be so many responses (”@twitterfolk”) to conversations I don’t follow that my twitter-stream (or twhatever it’s called) would be all junk…and a very fast stream of junk, at that?
* Whatever happened to IRC?
…OK, enough! I have to twitter that I’m blogging about twitter
