Twitter-Fied

I signed up for the Twitter service today after reading about it on TV Squad. My Name Is Earl writer Mike Pennie is buddies with the site’s creators, so for tonights episode of Earl they are incorporating the site into the show via “behind the scenes” info sent to the Twitter profile. (Only the West coast feed, for some dumbass reason.)

The service is basically used for adding instant updates to “what you are doing”, allowing you to send the status via the web site itself, via cell phone text message, or even through several Instant Messaging clients. I’m currently using the built-in googleTalk IM that loads with gMail to send updates.

Much like other social networking sites, you can add friends and “follow” their activities throughout the day through mini-updates.
