Am I owned by Twitter? It really looks like I am.
I have heard from the Twitter service some months ago and I decided to register there. At the beginning I did not see any sense in that service, but then I started to find some interesting people and followed them.
Afterwards I saw the advantages of seeing news and rumors much more quicker than professional newspapers and magazines provided me before. Among them are Heise or even MacWorld. To placate you, I still read you.
Okay, it takes a much time reading all interesting content and filtering the absolutely uninteresting things, but I met some people in real life and gained lots of new knowledge.
Also it makes fun to help people, get help by myself, sharing fun stuff and more. This can not be explained by only using words, you should collect your own experience. For me, twitter went to a part of my daily life.
Maybe you already have noticed, that I wrote some articles like this about Twitter and other sites or tools making it more powerful. Due to that I have created a very own category and sorted the articles into it. Of course, you can click the twitter-tag in the right hand side tag-cloud.
