I'm all a-twitter

If you haven't yet been bombarded by Twitter, allow me to introduce you to The Next Big Thing that will waste your time while letting you "socially network." Whatever.

I kinda like it, despite myself. The guy who told me about it described it as "ambient intimacy" and I think that's an accurate read on what this microblogging tool is good for creating. Really, it's just one-to-many texting, but it creates this weird feeling of webbyness.

The site blew up last week - probably just about when I heard about it - and so its running REALLY slowly now, but you should check it out. I think adoption is being strongly driven along by tech conferences, like GDC and SXSW.
