Today I decided to do something, I had never tried before in the social media: I made an account on twitter.com.

Twitter is a service, where I can keep my friends updated about my actions - from the web, or the phone or IM ..

Untill now nothing has really happend, since I have no friends. But I have invited my giicod class, so I hope something will happend..

Twitter seems a bit borring to me and not so usefull. Probably also the reason why I only know one other person in my whole mailinglist, who has a Twitter profile : Tom Andersson. But I can't connect to Tom, because he hasn't updated his profile for a while... hmmm.... It seems like the service is a bit past, also since Facebook already has the same "this-is-what-I'm-doing-feature" + a lot of other usefull features.

Here is a print screen picture from my Twitter actions. I have also placed a link to my acount in the blogroll on my blog + written a post about twitter.

It turns out that I invited my whole mailbox to join Twitter - by an accident!! So today I have two more friends - also called 'following' or 'followers' on twitter.

Wonder if this accident will start a new twitter - wave among my friends??!... I don't think so. I have tried to communicate with my two new twitter followers, but I guess they already noticed, that you can't use the service for anything really and logged out before they even updated their profile.

Hmmm... as I said; Facebook has so much more. So see you there!

But I'm glad I tried out twitter, because now I can share my experience with other people and use it in my communicative work. That's a great idea about giicod - that you have to try it out yourself to really know, what it's all about!! - I know so much more now about social media, than I did for some months ago, and that's great!
