Twitter???...Do you guys use it?
I just created a Facebook page for the site...now I'm looking into Twitter. Is Twitter something that could help the site grow? How many of you use Twitter?

As far as i know it's like facebook but it's only the status update part...you have 140 characters to say what your doing.

There's a movie about it on the site: Twitter: What are you doing?

oh and here's a funny youtube video....it's a "mockumentary" on Twitter.

YouTube - flutter

I have so far been resisting twitter, myspace, facebook, and the like. I suppose it's a matter of time until I eventually break down and get at least a facebook account, but I'm still gonna hold out as long as I can.

I don't really see the appeal of twitter but facebook is pretty awesome. I know maybe a couple of people who use twitter but the vast majority of people I know who are my age don't use it. I'm not sure why but it kind of seems to me like it maybe attracts a slightly older age group.

I have facebook but I am very uptight about who is my "friend", if you are my facebook "friend" I consider you to be on my inner circle in real life. This whole striving to have as many friends as possible is wierd. Twitte is just a bit to fluffy for me.

I personally am not a huge twitter fan, i have one only because a friend and i were wondering what it was, i've never actually used it.


facebook on the other hand...i joined the group page for this site yesterday =)

but i wouldn't steer away from the twitter, why limit yourself maybe it will attract some people who aren't on facebook. give it try maybe it helps maybe it doesn't.
