Have you heard about Twitter? No? Twitter is new social media website where you can let your friends know what are you currently doing. Hm, why would I waste my time to write my everyday tasks, and better yet, why would anyone care? Because you can and because everybody is doing it!! Dough!!

Let’s get serious for a moment.

How do I … what shoud … can I?

Twitter allows you to post one-line messages about what you’re currently doing. You can post these messages via web interface. That’s kind of handy since you can post it no matter where you are, which is basically the most important function of this application. You’ll be doing lots of different stuff on a lot of twitter.gifdifferent locations and you have to have access to your account anywhere.

There is nice tool available for posting Twitter messages called Twitterrific. Twitterrific is a fun application that lets you both read and publish posts or “tweets” to the Twitter community website. The application’s user interface is clean, concise and designed to take up a minimum of real estate on your Mac’s desktop. You can download it from Iconfactory.

You can choose who can see your messages or you can go public. So you can show more personal messages only to your family or friends.

What Twitter does, in a simple and brilliant way, is to merge a number of interesting trends in social software usage—personal blogging, lightweight presence indicators, and IM status messages—into a fascinating blend of ephemerality and permanence, public and private.

I guess you should ask yourself two questions if you’re thinking of using Twitter:

Will anyone care about your daily tasks?

Do you have time to write all these daily events?

I can certainly see some benefits of Twitter services but for the most I think people won’t have enough will or time to regularly write Twitter posts. What do you think will happen to Twitter in the future?
