I tweet, but not too often. I didn't really know what it was until I started my new job. I don't really know what to say most of the time and why would anyone care what I had for lunch? :-) I use Facebook quite a lot.

I had no idea what Twitter was until just about an hour ago. At first, I saw no purpose of it. I signed up just to see what all the hoopla was about. I was immediately told that certain cavers in my e-mail were twitterers, and that I could follow their tweets. I did not know what that meant. This looks like another time magnet. I gave up on MySpace and only seldom look at the CaversOnline site to see if I am missing anything important. I tried the blog thing too, at blogspot.com. Twitter looks confusing to me, and I don't see how to send anyone a private message. An organization like say a commercial cave could send out daily news alerts. Like "cave is closed today due to WNS." Someone could be news reporter for ICS and send out minute by minute updates of the events and attendees and non-attendees could instantly view them. That would be easier than the paper daily newsletter, for the people that twitter on their portable gadgets. For example, "Caver Joe has lost his cell phone?" "Buses delayed 30 minutes" "Storm approaching." I guess this service could come in handy during times like you are about to have a baby, and want to give everybody minute by minute details of your experience. Or maybe while you are on vacation? My hunch is that it will be a fad, because people will use it to say ordinary things like "Today I took a bath."
