Then I decided to stop being so hateful and sign up for Twitter. I followed some people, got bored and dropped it, angry with the hype. I started reading a couple of blogs more often that were about social media. Those convinced me to give Twitter another chance along with the fact it was integrated in Digsby. Since its connected to my chat program, it updates my status thru that and Twitter kicks it to my facebook. But I also use Twitter to reply to other Twitter stuff in Friendfeed. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I find Friendfeed much more interesting than most of the other stuff around.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">thesimian</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 21 Aug 2008 05:39:28 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Bloggers On Vacation</title><link>http://thesimiandowntimeanalyst.com/2008/08/05/bloggers-on-vacation/#comment-1713467</link><description>I was wondering do you find Twitter to be an inherently good social media app?  I've tried to get into it but don't find it that useful.  The only thing I currently use it for is updating blog posts.  But that is probably not that useful either if you don't have followers.  I guess to me it's kind of like screaming into the wind.  How do you use twitter?</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Kim Jackson</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 21 Aug 2008 01:42:26 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
