Has anyone heard of Twitter? Do any of you use it? It's apparently a blogging/social site where you can text in your entries. All entries must be 140 characters or less.

I haven't joined it because you also get text alerts whenever one of your friends sends in a text twitter. I think that would annoy me a bit.

I don't get those alerts - you must have to choose that when you sign up. And you Tweet now, too, J & O!

Anybody else....?

I don't think I could stand to dedicate even one more second of my life to computers and internet pastimes. So, NO! No WAY!

I do!! I do!!

I have tweet deck...and digsby which puts all my allerts in one area...I get alerts from all my emails and twitter and facebook!

You'd need it depending on what it is you're "watching". It's kinda like getting "stock quotes"...

You know?? Updates on whatever it is you're watching...its for those who want to be in "THE KNOW" all the time

I have twitter now. I actually like it. :) I use it a lot because it links to my Facebook page, so if I twitter something it becomes my new Facebook status.

Ooh - how do you link them? Do you use the Tweetboard?

I was thinking you would like Twitter so that anything new happening on the Bionic project you can twitter ...

Of course you might want to ask everyone's permission at this point. Then for any new member, they must understand that as the BP updates a twitter will go out. Just my thoughts...

I got the tweet deck because that is where I can link the facebook/twitter and send replies and something they call Re-tweets. You can send on a note to ... wherever by RT (re-tweeting) it. Like passing notes. Someone you are "following" on twitter will "say someting" (post) and you take that and send it to someone else as an FYI.

It's okay. Again, a lot of what I see is ... like watching updates. I haven't met anyone I really have to keep my eyes on all day...or information I really need to know every minute.

If anything, if I followed a board and wanted to know who was responding ... I'd like a twitter for that. Like an email alert..." so and so has replied to a message on..." But Twitter doesn't do that...

This board has e-mail updates, if you ask for them when replying to a thread, if there's something you'd like to keep track of. Will think about putting us on Twitter.

Opinions, anyone?

I get e-mail updates when there is a new reply to a thread on the OBW website. I like those kind of updates. If this site can do that I would like that too.

In the bottom left corner of every active page, you will see a little picture of a page with a blue circle around it. Click on it, and it gives you several options, including 'Track this Topic'.
