Finally Joined Twitter
After being asked many times if I use Twitter, I finally decided to pony-up and join. You can follow me on Twitter as 1Marc.
Impression of Twitter
I never understood Twitter when it first came out. My first (ignorant) impression was that it would be for emo kids - much like how blogging started out. However, it turns out that Twitter can be great for your professional life. You can follow other like-minded people, and you will find they post links and ideas that are interesting to you. You can also participate in conversations going on in the industry.
TwitterFox allows me to keep up on Twitter updates from Firefox, which is nice.

A Twitter search engine called Summize allows you to peruse through peoples' tweets (twitter updates). This is great if you want to track opinions on a certain topic or product. The first thing I searched for was “datepicker”. To my surprise, I found a lot of flattering comments about my datepicker and was quite pleased.
