I’ve never been a major Twitter user, but I have long been fascinated with microblogging as a whole and think it is amazing just how popular and useful Twitter has become over the past year. TV stations are starting to use it to gather feedback, our local sports radio station is sending out live score updates as tweets, etc. It is truly amazing!
Back when Twitter was originally launched, I setup an account just like many of you, but I can’t say I use the service as often as a lot of people do. Maybe it is because I don’t find my own musings as interesting as I find others, or maybe it is the timesink that Twitter can be (just like Facebook), but I just don’t use it as much as I should.
A couple of weeks ago I upgraded my phone to the new Blackberry Storm (which I could write a four page review of how incredible this phone is) and grabbed the TwitterBerry application. I’ve found that this application has really helped motivate me to use the service a lot more often now that I can easily keep up with things while I’m away from my computer.
Because I don’t believe I’ve ever mentioned my profile here on WordPress Hacks, I figured now was as good of time as any. If anyone is interested in following me on Twitter, you can follow me here.
I’m also sure many of you have Twitter accounts and I’d love to keep up with what our readers are doing. If you’d like me to follow you, leave your profile link in the comments.

That's unfortunate. Hopefully they can find a solution for it soon. :(

Kyle, I kind of feel the same way.
I’ve never been a fan of Twitter but I am starting to see its usefulness. I developed a custom plugin to do micro blogging but using Twitter would be so much easier.
Thanks for eye opener.
Welcome back to Twitter, Kyle. I will try to catch you there sometime. I think you already have my profile though – twitter.com/KIntheHouse. Since you went the Blackberry route, my iPhone Twitter account is probably no interest to you. LOL
@ K –
Heh, yeah. The Blackberry was a better fit for me and I absolutely LOVE it (I have an iPod Touch as well). I think I am following your iPhone account as well for iTouch news.
Following you now as well.

I am a big fan of Twitter too. It took me a while to figure it out and really get into it though. Congrats on the new storm. I recently got a Pearl. I know it is an older phone, but I love that little guy. I’m going to have to check out TwitterBerry.
