So, I’ve decided to try Twitter.

Why? Because a few people have been banging on about it. Stephen Fry is a heavy user, Charlie Brooker uses, and talks about it in his latest column, the Skepchicks are doing it, and VJack over at Atheist Revolution has talked about it as being a way to interact with other bloggers and bring traffic to your own blog (I know, I should post more if I’m going to worry about that!).

So I’ve signed up for a twitter account. If you look carefully, you’ll see I’ve embedded an RSS feed of my twitter updates in the sidebar to the right. So you can follow me here, or become a ‘follower’ on twitter itself. I’ve had to call myself ‘artificialhab’, as it won’t give me enough characters for my full title!

I’m trying twhirl as a desktop client, and twibble on my mobile phone. Apart from the lack of cross-platform synchronisation (oh Newsgator, how you have spoiled me) these seem to be fine

I’m am still unsure what the point is – I’ll let you know if I figure it out.

As usual, I will probably tire of it at some point…
