Ok - There's been little to think about after Torchwood this week so I have been thinking about Twitter.
I'm not sure I get it or indeed, if there is anything, to get - (I'm sorry Mike)
I think it’s a generation thing - or it could be because it is a relatively slow method of communication, I'm not sure which.
Don't get me wrong I love the idea, but following your messages almost seems like an invasion of privacy- that at times makes me grin :)
I have enjoyed Madame Zee - this I think is because she writes for public consumption.
Your own txt style is tempered (different to your blog) - is this because you are aware of twitter or because you know your friends will just get it? (It could of course just be coz you are a man!!) (Men say a lot more in fewer words) - You seem to say a lot with such a few characters to play with.
I find some peoples messages are much more (I'm stuck for what to say!) - Mundane - more ordinary statements - less poetic. Do you do the poetry on purpose - "House music bleeds from the ceiling..." It’s not quite the same as limericks but there may be a market!
Sam - I hummed and ha'd about the whole Pidgin thing and went for it two days ago - I was working on the theory that I could always delete it if I hated it! :)
I have to say it appeals quite a lot - it’s not as pretty as some of the other IM devices but it’s a tidy gadget that has been designed by someone who has a sense of humour (that appeals!)
I don't have hundreds of contacts but I will continue to play with it for a while (I suspect it may stay)
It’s got quite a cool spell checker and if you type as badly as I do that's a good thing.
If I am talking to more than one person the conversation windows are contained and you utilise tabs to move between them.
All in all it’s quite a neat gadget!
If anyone out there has any other life changing widgets, gadgets, blidgets or gizmos that promise to make my life better I'd love to try!!
