Anyone here on Twitter?
I've yet to quite figure out what to do on it, but I have a Twitter account. Anyone else have one?

I have made a conscious decision not to even look at Twitter, although every now and again I think about it. My reason not to is that I already spend far too much time on forums, blogging and on Facebook, and I am pretty sure that Twitter would be even more of a timesuck.

You can get access via the phone in the US and UK, but we are not quite up to that standard here (at least according to the tech guy on Kerrianne yesterday morning! LOL)

I echo your sentiment exactly, Diamondlil (much to the concern of my publishing house)!I have made a conscious decision not to even look at Twitter, although every now and again I think about it. My reason not to is that I already spend far too much time on forums, blogging and on Facebook, and I am pretty sure that Twitter would be even more of a timesuck.
Have no intention of even looking at the moment. I'm in negative time debt at the moment as it is - and I don't like the name either!

An unnecessary fad it seems. Am avoiding it as well.

A friend recently told me that when she asked her publisher what they were doing to promote her upcoming literary novel, the reply was: "We are sending out a Twitter." She was flummoxed. Her last book was a national bestseller, and she'd never heard of Twitter. When she found out what it was, she called me and basically said, "Are they insane? This is what they consider promotion?"
I haven't even looked at the Twitter site yet. Like EC, I hate the name. But based on the story cited above, I might have to consider it.
