Give Twitter A Try
I might have mentioned it before, but I’ll mention it again now.
Twitter is not that easy to explain, but pretty easy to use. It’s basically a way to sent a lot of text messages at once, by sending just 1 text message to twitter. Everyone that has signed up to follow you on there Twitter account will recieve the message you send.
From the Twitter website :
About using Twitter on your phone
Twitter really shines when you’re away from your computer.
By hooking up your mobile phone, you can receive updates from those you’re following (or just some people) when you’re waiting in boring lines. And you can send updates, like“OMG, there’s a monkey walking down the street!”—which, lets face it, you’re unlikely to see while you’re indoors.
It’s all done through text messages (aka “sms”), which you probably use all the time anyway, so there’s not much to learn.
Twitter doesn’t charge anything for this, but be sure to know what your text plan looks like with your wireless carrier.
Also know that you can shut text messages from Twitter off at anytime by replying with “off” (and back on by sending “on”). And you can even specify that it turn off automatically at night.
Now we thought it would be cool to get a bit of a Twitter thing happening amongst our friends and family, so go over to Twitter here, and sign up, and remember to activate your mobile phone to receive your Twitters with. You will find my account here and Val’s here. Happy Twittering!
