Blog about Twitter

I won't pretend that I know the Twitter well, but as of now I don't like it much :(
After reading the article "Brave New World of Digital Intimacy" I got really interested in that new form of relationship that emerged thru microblogging, feeling of closeness without ever seeing the other person.  I found the idea of “ambient awareness” really interesting. However, at this time I'm still at the point, where I'm reluctant of the twitting. I prefer other types of discussions like thru blackboard or my favorite....in class discussion. With Twitter discussion I spend more time on fitting into those 140signs, then on what I want to say. It is counterproductive. But it also forces us to use new forms of communication like texting acronyms and abbreviations (e.g CU, l8er, U2 etc) and that is the interesting part of the whole experience
