When I first heard of Twitter I thought it was so totally ridiculous. Sending and receiving txt messages is not new. It’s distinctly old technology. So I signed up.
After receiving some useless messages from some people I had added - the sort of messages that said, “Just got the kids to bed, now gonna have lots of hot sex with the wife” or “Monday mornings suck, I hate my job”, or “I hate technology and computers. What’s a blog?”
As well as the usual mutterings of new technology ideas, crazy entrepreneurs telling us their new money-making scheme, conferences in Cork, Seminars in Limerick, photo meets in Dublin and sheep giving birth to deformed creatures from hell with a Tinyurl linking to a picture.
So 11 months after getting bored and switching off, I have switched it back on.
Today there was talk of a random piss-up in Dublin, delicious biscuit meetup group, querying the cost of twitter txting among other things.
I now understand its usefulness, as well as its potential. I have some ideas of my own.

Gwan and come down for the drinks!
how much does it cost to recieve the texts?
free to send messages
and
free to receive messages
(though you can only receive 250 per month)
free free free
(except usual price of txt, which lets face it, is mostly likely to be free anyway).
Elly, I really don’t think I can. I will see closer to the time. It definitely won’t be another year before I am down again though!
twitter = facebook status (with a push out to some mobile users)
But there’s only so many interruptions that I can manage to deal with on any day - my concentration span is short enough without another set of random pings to respond to!!!
edit to comment above - you get 250 txt allowance (receiving not sending) a week not month.
