I started using Twitter seriously in December and am amazing at the wealth of information and contacts from the news, film, music and literature worlds are now at my fingertips.

The UK Guardian provides a pretty good overview of Twitter if you are curious about it:

"Twitter lets us interact with each other and our politicians, business leaders, writers, producers and even our fictional heroes (in tweets dreamt up by fans). Twitter is the new cultural forum.

That video shows that it is exactly as I thought! Perhaps if I tried it I may like it, but it just sounds rubbish. I find most blogs boring as hell, without reading the stuff that didn't make the blog!

It depends who you bring to the party - I have twitter buds in music, film, books, technology, and its interesting to see what they post and communicate with them.

And ... rather than email people, they're twittering with me, so its often more convenient.
