Since 2006 more and more people have moved toward the world of Twitter (1) and micro-blogging. With as many as 140 characters you can sum up your emotions, interactions, observations, and life and broadcast it into the ether. The compact nature of this medium allows for the ability to easily ship your moment to moment actions to everybody or nobody in a the blink of an eye to email, phones, desktop applications, etc.
After reading about twitter in places like Digg and hearing about it on shows like TWIT I finally registered for my own account. To date I have managed a total of 3 posts and even attempted to find some friends, but already I'm missing the pull that places like Facebook and others have masterd. Twitter may fall prey to the limitations of all social networks where they will see the boom of friends telling friends, but when the fad gets old for friends to update then those connections will begin to wander off and a small percentage will be left to feed the community.
