Do You Twitter?

Spaz on the Pre

I knew that Twitter hit the big time when members of my local news anchor team started using it to do their jobs. They follow local news reporting on Twitter, and they even tweet the current weather. I have used Twitter since the beginning, and it offers some good insight into the happenings around those I follow. There are now good Twitter apps on almost every smartphone platform, so it’s even easier to tweet on the move.

The post I did on disconnectivity anxiety today got me thinking about Twitter. There are those with thousands of followers keeping up with their goings-on, and their “need to tweet” probably is as great as the need to follow for those who are perpetually connected. Twitter can be a good source for breaking news. I first heard about the death of Michael Jackson on Twitter.

My favorite Twitter apps to use are TweetDeck on the PC side, Spaz on the Palm Pre, and Twitterific on the iPhone. The phone apps both do a good job when working with Twitter and when displaying the information in an attractive, easy-to-read format. It’s easy to follow my peeps, and to see who is talking about me. How about you? Do you Twitter, and if so, what apps do you use?
