Twitter birth

Finally dragged myself in to the Twitter era with a Twitter account. I'm still unsure as to its usefulness, objectives and what can be achieved with it, and I certainly won't be posting things like "filling kettle with water", "waiting for water to boil", "OMG! Still waiting for kettle to boil water", "Made cup of tea", so on and so forth. At the moment I'll probably just "tweet" new blog entries through it, which i'll mention in my next post and which seems like a pretty good first use as Twitter appears to ultimately be a tiny rapid fire blogging engine.


This isn't to say it's totally useless or meaningless and i'm sure after reading http://business.twitter.com/twitter101, ideas on how to best use and take advantage of the site will become clear.

Anyways, "follow me" on Twitter at http://twitter.com/jayhollingum.
