I know you are all sick of me talking about Twitter, but I really do think it is awesome :) A few thoughts/examples on why I think it is cool...
- Kids Hockey Team - Some parents can't make it all the time to the games, so a nice parent (like me) tweets the goals, and then gives a score update after each period. The parents and grandparents that are at work or at home are able to keep up on how the games are going.
- Ashley's Birth - Many people were on the edge of their seats waiting for updates on the birth of our lovely daughter Ashley Marie, so I used Twitter to announce her birth to the world real-time. She was born at 8:22 AM, and I tweeted about 3 minutes later that it was a girl... I was able to continue with updates, and my followers were able to see pictures as soon as they were posted etc...
It is just a great way to share information in real-time, and people can "opt-in" to whether they care about what you have to share...

I agree - it was a great way to get the word out about your daughter's birth et al. You didn't even need to be a member of Twitter, since you have the widget on your blog. Not sure I really need to know what everyone is doing every bit of the day though. Just another medium of communication technology that is available.
I just like to know what you are doing at every minute. So sometimes I don't think you tweet enough! haha
I like it I did follow the blizzard twitter. That was neat!! Not sure that any one care about what I do, we are a little boring.
Did you see the article in the Saginaw News about Freeland Schools using Twitter to notify families about reminders, school cancelations et al?
I am glad you are enjoying the tweets, and I will try to tweet more...
I didn't see the article, but it makes sense to me :)
