I'm on twitter--I like it because it doesn't tempt me to spend a lot of time on a proper blog post. For me, it's also like being neighbours with people who in fact live very far away.
This will come as no surprise to you -- but I actually find the 140 characters challenging; I have to slow down and cut out words. I thought it would be a bit like Facebook's status updates (which are what I read), without all the extra apps (which make me crazy because I feel guilty about not responding, but I really really don't want the extra clutter). But I seem to need about 200 characters. Or 280.
