Twitter can no longer be denied...


I've been trying to ignore it...pretend it didn't really exist...pretend I didn't really care....but I've been lying to myself.
This is a call for everyone to join Twitter.

Reasons to join:
1) Community Twitter - communities of like employment or like minds that are Twitter friends. An example would be Alley Insider. Alley Insider is an online blog about New York digital business. Through this website, you can join the Alley Insider Twitter community and keep up with others who care about issues that the website deals with.

2) Launchy and Twitter - Launchy is a Windows program that is meant to replace your start menu, much like Spotlight (or Quicksilver) on Mac OS X. The combination of these programs allows you to do the following:
Update Remember the Milk
Post to Google Calendar
Set SMS reminders
Twitter from Launchy - Link to the instructions

3) Follow blogs - An example is Download Squad, a site I've mentioned previously. You can "friend" the website on Twitter and follow along.

4) I keep reading about people using Twitter who are older than me. That scares me and makes me think I'm missing out. Although I use Facebook, I was not in college when it became popular, so I'm not constantly on the site. So, when I read about people not younger than me using Twitter, it makes me think it could be useful.

Here is a beginner guide to Twitter.

I need some friends on Twitter. Here is the link to my twitter page:

Also, just like DownloadSquad, you can follow this blog on twitter at this link.

Happy twittering.
