Twitter

When I joined StumbleUpon in September last year, there were 3.5 million people who have done it ahead of me. And when I joined Twitter yesterday, I have a feeling that there are even more (smarter) people who have done so because I have just realized that Twitter is fun (in a way) and it makes keeping in touch so much easier!

Before I joined Twitter, I had been thinking whether or not I should do it. For all it’s worth, I am afraid of having to remember an additional set of username and password for some web-based services because I think I have more than I can remember!

I am slowly trying to familiarize myself with writing tweets and receiving them on my mobile and what-nots, so if you’re also on Twitter, do drop your link into the comment box, and I will follow you, OK?

And yeah, in case you’re interested, here’s mine: http://twitter.com/pelf81

P/S: Can any (Malaysian) tweeters tell me whether it’s really FREE to send a tweet using my mobile? I don’t want to get a heart attack when my phone bill comes :blush:

Addendum: Steve pointed out to me a very good introduction to Twitter (link to YouTube), by Common Craft.

    It’s to a UK number, and it costs the same as regular SMS rates. They don’t charge you extra.

  2. Tine says:

    Me! Me!

    Wait, we’re already following each other. Oh well :p

    I’m on Twitter, but you already found me…

    Yeah, I’ve been wondering too how much it costs to have Twitter on my mobile…
