Twitter - at the Tipping Point and May Not Survive SXSW
This just in. Twitter is officially at the tipping point. Twitter is an SMS like or IM (Instant Messaging) like service that asks one questions; "what are you doing?"
I like the twitter explanation on twistimage:
It’s being called a micro-Blogging platform. I’m not sure that is the best way to describe it. Simply put you can send a text message (SMS length) either through a website, instant messenger or mobile device to your own customized Twitter page (mine is here: Twitter – Mitch Joel). From there you add friends (like MySpace) who are also using Twitter. The point? To tell people what you are doing now (for instance, take a look at my Twitter widget on the left which shows you my latest posting). It’s another way to let other know what you’re up to… right now.
Inkoluv pushed me over the edge to sign up. So yes Erica, you have been bugging me about twitter for months. You too Kelsey. And now I am on twitter at twitter.com/eschipul/. Are you people happy now?
Mainly I don't miss out on any of the SXSW action over the next few days. It will be interesting to see if it "has legs" after the conference.
Dodgeball? Always had potential. Never worked right. I declare it dead. Sorry!
I take full responsibility for making you twitter...

Don't you mean "full blame"? LOL!
