Interesting – because now, I’m using Tweetdeck in preference to twhirl!

Good call, but I was running it under XP too. And I’ve since discovered twhirl and tweetdeck, both of which seem to do a better job anyway.

It’s probably not the done thing to reply to one’s own posts, but just as an update, people often ask me what Twitter is ‘for’, and indeed I asked myself the same question some time ago.

It’s not actually ‘for’ anything! The analogy is with bottom-up software design – build something that can be used for anything, and let people use it.

I use (another) analogy that it’s like having a forum but one you assembled yourself, almost accidentally, and without all the bells and whistles that sometimes get in the way on forums.

That’s my take on it. I’ll probably change my mind next week.
