I have created a nice little plugin for wordpress.
Any blog post that I create here will automatically be “twittered” to my twitter profile. :).
You can get this by emailing me at kram.esor@gmail.com, although I will put it up for public download soon enough!

Today, I received a Twitter asking me how to describe Twitter in 140 characters or less. I find it very hard, but what I came up with was “Versatile activity blog with the ability to network with others”.
Now, this may not make much sense to many of you - but regardless it is a pretty good sum-up of what Twitter actually is.
More to the point, I think I might be making a miniature application for Twitter, possible even something that could be loaded as a module for forums/bulletin boards and/or blogs/diary’s. Which would simply use the titles of what people are posting/blogging about, as a twitter - with a tiny-URL going towards that particular post. I think this would be something that would combine everything together - using Twitter as the networking hub - which it is in its own right. If I do create this I will most definitely be releasing it on this blog. WATCH THIS SPACE! (Not this very space of course, but I’m sure that you all know what the saying means….)

I have finally gotten arounded to actually using the service Twitter.
I think it is an absolutly service, and its completely free!
Basically, you can update your “status” to whatever you’re up to at the moment in time. You can update your status in many ways, via IM’s on certain programs, via E-Mail, text messages, the lot.
I have started to use this service as I think it is a very nice way that people can find out what I am up to, and they can also just press a single button on the twitter website (nudge) - and then it will alert me via a text message on my phone (completely free) and I can just send a text back (only charges the same amount that it would to send a normal text message), and it would update on my twitter profile and on this blog page. Also if someone is follwing me on twitter they would get alerts (if they have them enabled and what not).
Anyway, I would suggest this service to anybody and everybody, after all its free! You can always follow me on twitter if you have an account, my profile is http://twitter.com/KramEsor
