Potluck #56: Twitterpated

I've been using Twitter for quite a while now. It came in particularly handy during Hurricane Ike because even after we lost electricity, I was able to send and receive updates via text message.

Celebrity Tweet was fun but after a while, the bowel movements of the rich and famous become less enchanting with each tweet.

As for topics, I am a hit and run tweeter. I tend not to tweet about every little detail. When I find something amusing or helpful, I will tweet about it.

I know several YA programs that use Twitter to keep teens informed about upcoming programs. Since teens read their text messages far more often than their e-mail, I think it's a very useful tool.
