How I Use Twitter
I started using twitter at Affiliate Summit West 2008. But I didn’t really start using it till after that. I used it via SMS for a while (imagine having your cell beep every 3 minutes with a twitter update…). Then I moved to just web. Finally I got it to work via IM (the gtalk wouldn’t work with my google for domains account, but it did work with the fresh jabber account I made for it)..
So.. when I use twitter now, it is pretty slick. It more or less is like a chatroom for me. If I see someone I know talking to someone I don’t know I can follow them right from IM w/o even going to twitter’s site.
And somehow I have it setup so when I log out of IM it sends new messages via SMS, and when I log back in it turns SMS off automatically. (Maybe it just does that automatically 
)
So.. thats how I use twitter. I usually have it on, so a @johnhasson twitter will usually get my attention pretty quickly.
