I can't be bothered joining so I'll just say here that I should be working but instead I'm reading this and in a couple of ticks I'll be going for a wander to the coffee area.

I'll post an update when I get back.

OK I'm back now.

Right now I'm typing tripe into the MSE forum while my coffee cools.

How often are folks supposed to update their activities?

Good job they don't twit every billion that Darling flushes down the toilet or it would overload the site.

Meanwhile for those eagerly awaiting the next installment in my own busy day I must apologise that I omitted to report a trip to the loo but I'm back now.

I like Twitter. I've got quite a lot of people in the industry, musicians and a few celebrities on there and it makes for entertaining reading.

Well if it's good enough for her madge, shouldn't all her subjects be twittering.

I joined for a little while but it just felt like online stalking.
Following "celebs" seems just a bit too creepy for my liking
I prefer to chat to people on the phone and find out what they have been up too.

I'm not sure how mean it's akin to stalking and being creepy, it's not really that far away from reading online blogs, articles in newspapers or podcasts just that they're short updates. On the otherside, it's just another promotional tool to use like Myspace, Facebook, Bebo etc for someone to use.

Its like using your mobile to text everyone on your contact list to say you have got out of bed / doing the ironing etc so that the population of friends list can spy on your every move ... or is that facebook ??? how many people have actualy "Interacted" with thier friends on thier friends list in the last month ?? (not online as in actualy doing friend things ??)
