You know you're late to the party when you're trying out a technology after the Wall Street Journal has reported on it, but I finally enrolled in Twitter.com. For one day, it's been fun, although if I can't get it to work with IM, I can't imagine I'll remember to continue. (I still don't do SMS texting. Over the legal age limit.) It does raise the question of how granular our self-presentation is going to be. Where does it end? Synaptic RSS feeds? "I'm extending my triceps. Vesicles filling with acethylcholine...reaching action potential...Extension achieved!..More in 0.015 seconds..." [Tags: twitter everything_is_miscellaneous ] Posted

I have so little interest in presence. My interest is actually negative. I would like virtually all people on the planet to have little idea of how to reach me or what I am doing.
Twitter seems to be about desperate social contact rather than interesting social messaging.

But, Glenn, all the kids are doing it! C'mon, you don't want to be a square, do you?
It's hard to imagine it's going to be about generalized presence for long. High maintenance. But it's also a platform for social innovation. And there are some obvious uses as is: I'm finding it interesting to follow John Edwards, for example.
So, we shall see...

It might be fun to choose a literary character and see how far you can go with it before someone catches on.

OK, xiaononok, that does it. No way I'm putting you on my Twitter list.

the Twitter IM access, like most of the service, has been really unreliable this last week... their adoption has absolutely skyrocketed this last weekend, much due to SXSW. When it's up, it works really well. I dig the presence. My wife says she likes it because she can see what people are up to with out firing up IM and having to read away messages, and she in turn can advertise what she's up to without being currently online. This is really a distributed version of an idea I had back several years ago that you could set an "away" message for when you're actually offline form a service. "Offline till I reach the west coast" or something...

If you're intrigued by twitter, you really mind enjoy this site:

I don't know what it means (maybe nothing, of course) but it sure SEEMS like it means something.

Gotta just look past its "nextbigthingitude" (great word from Halley!). I justify it as a social experiment, collapsing one dimension of interpersonal distance that used to be a given of human existence: http://betsydevine.com/blog/2007/03/16/twitter-social-string-theory-not-just-nextbigthingitude/
Well, that's my excuse anyway.
