I’m giving Twitter a second chance…
A while ago I looked at Twitter and I was not very impressed. I just didn’t see the point. But I’m going to give it a second chance. I’m going to try it out for, um, maybe a week or so. Two things have to happen to keep me going.
1. It’s gotta be deadly easy, day after day. I mean easy. I don’t like adding anything to my plate. These days I have no time. Speed is everything. Usability is king.
2. I need to know that at least a few people care. I want to Twitter for myself but also other folks. I want to keep keep informed and updated. I need your help.
First, take a look at my Twitter page: http://twitter.com/webword
Second, consider subscribing to my Twitter RSS feed.
Third, consider posting a comment here. Tell us about your Twitter page. Or, just let me know that you’re watching what I say on Twitter.
By the way, you might want to think about grabbing the WebWord RSS feed.
There’s still a lot more to talk about so keep your eye on this blog. Also, I’m going to strongly encourage you to subscribe to the WebWord Newsletter. The “first” edition is coming out very soon.

One way Webword could use Twitter is instant quick commentary on interactions with things during the day that trigger thoughts about usability. These may lead to bigger thoughts and articles or could be just quick observations.

Dano,
That’s what I’ve been doing, I think.

Hi John,
Well, you can add that mentioning Twitter on forums will gain you subscribers … that’s how I found you. Don’t give up on twitter.
I think it is a neat way that combined with blogs will give people a chance to “get inside your mind” and sort of follow you in the “day in the life of John” style.
Regards,
ChrisD
P.S. Following you.
