June 2: What are you doing?

OK, y’all gotta try Twitter. Here’s why:

• You can share wise, insightful observations about your day AS THEY COME TO YOU
  
• We—your followers—can know what you’re doing at all times and you know you want us to
  
• Spread the good news about your life
  
• Bitch about the suckfest you call your life
  
• Get texts that make you laugh so hard milk squirts out your phone charger

Afraid you can’t keep a blog? Twitter is kind of a mini-blog. There are 140 characters allowed per “tweet” in which to answer the question, “What are you doing?” You can tweet from your computer—several applications are available—or your cell phone. You can receive others’ tweets the same ways.

It’s a great way to communicate with several people at once. Do you typically text more than one person at a time? Tweet instead! You can reply to tweets and eavesdrop on conversations too. Who doesn’t love eavesdropping?

Still not convinced of Twitter fabulousness? Here’s something direct from the Twitter FAQ:

But... what is the point?
As it turns out, your best friend is probably interested in knowing if you're "loving the new Radiohead album." And yes, your Mom may want to know if you're "skipping breakfast in favor of a latte." You might want to know if your significant other "feels like taking a roadtrip." Find out what your friends are doing; keep each other abreast of your quotidian rituals.
