Twitter is an interesting company with a simple technology. I first read about it in a blog post from The Economist.

The Wikipedia entry for Twitter describes as:

Twitter is a social networking service that allows members to inform each other about what they are doing and what they think. It allows users to send messages via phone, instant messaging or the Twitter website. Two SMS gateway numbers are available - one for USA, and one UK number for international use. Users can receive updates from other selected users via web, IM, or SMS.

I signed up on the site and invited a bunch of friends, who so far haven't joined. I was able to add Google News as a friend.

I'm still new to Twitter and microblogging, so I have no opinion so far on it. The concept is interesting, though.

On the sidebar of my blog I've added an area titled "What am I doing?" Every time I send a text message to Twitter and the page is refreshed, the text message will be displayed. There is also a link to my Twitter page.
