Not sure if anyone else is using this, but I thought it might be a good resource for Adelaide OzFormers to keep in touch in real time with TF sightings.

My Twitter account is SofaMan. Add me to your "following" list, and I'll do the same for you. That way we can keep each other up on sightings in real time (at least if you have a Twitter app on your mobile).

My twitter account is in my signature. Nothing terribly exciting but hey.

Twitter

It's essentially micro-blogging. Each of your entries/posts are limited to 140 characters.

There's quite a lot of big name people who use it. You can check them out at the WeFollow database. "Celebrities" I follow are Adam Savage (of Mythbusters), Grant Imahara (again of Mythbusters), Wierd Al Yankovic and Penn Jillette.

It's the latest new "it" internet thing that you must be part of.

How does it differ from other social networking sites like say Bebo, MySpace or Facebook?

First there were blogs. Then Facebook status updates. Now Twitter. And each is easier and shorted than the last.

I twitter at http://twitter.com/paulmelb but be warned you might learn more about me than you need to know

It has very narrow functionality. It's basically like your status updates on Facebook, and nothing else. Micro-blogging is a very good description of it.

Go to twitter.com and sign up. I have the Twitterific app on my iPhone, so I can update on sightings when I'm out and about. I think there are Twitter apps for most smartphone platforms.
