Texaswheel is now on Twitter - WitchyWitchy TW updates

If you don't Twitter ... why not?  Quick and easy way to keep up on topics of interest and breaking news. Not only about Texaswheel but about any interest you might have. And its small little 140 character posts... just the facts. How refreshing

I have 3 twitter accounts - each has a different area of interest.... the newest one I just created for poker. 
Twitter is like an RSS feed only better. Twitter is more like the shoutbox... and you can Twitter via cellphone, browser or desktop widget.

I use Twitter via a desktop widget (twhirl). Here's a screenshot



1, 2, 3 are posts... like text messaging on you cellphone   and 4 is the box you enter your message. Post 1 was made by someone who is in my Twitter group (I am following) so I see their posts.  Posts 2 and 3 were made by me and anyone that is in my group (following me) sees the post.


Why would you want to be on twitter? I use it everyday to keep in touch with friends, family and  new people that have the same interests that I do. What are you interested in? What ever it is people are talking about (search on twitter and find things you are interested in)  its on twitter. Hobbies, celebrity gossip, news, business... list goes on and on
 
Poker - I post reminders of the nights games, links to new posts and little poker tidbits.  I'm usually on Twitter all day - got a question - easy to ask. 

News - twitter has the news faster than its available anyplace else.  When the plane crashed - someone immediately twittered that he was on a ferry and the plane went down right in front of them... he than kept everyone updated as to what was happening, as it happened.

Facebook and Myspace require too much time and effort.Twitter is a mini-blog (the message length maxiumum is 140 characters)  I prefer twitter to IM, Facebook and Myspace. Twitter just sits in the corner of my monitor like a news ticker... and I can jump in at anytime or I can just be a passive observer.

Give it a try ... any questions... just ask.

Thanks Witchy, but that was WAY more than 2 sentences, lol - kidding! :p
It actually sounds like exactly what an old fart with ADD like me needs = lots of info in 140 characters or less.

Great article about the immediacy of Twitter results vs. Google day/week/month/year old data

I didn't realize that Twitter has over 6 million users - the PPA, Texaswheel (witchywitchy) and many other poker related users are part of those 6 million

Wonderful video about how to use Twitter via Twirl

Don't forget to follow Texaswheel on Twitter.  Then install Twirl so you can Twitter just like IM

Daily updates on Twitter - surprises soon that will only be on Twitter 

Thanks for the video, just learned a little more 

Right now I have 5 twitter accounts - one for Texaswheel, one personal and the other three for business. Using twirl I can have them all logged in at the same time.

This way I can easily follow the twitterstream, as each has a different focus... just easier for me than having one account with many different interests.

And there are applications that can merge your twitter and facebook together. My twitters from one account appear on my facebook and vice versa. Twitter can be whatever you want it to be.. super flexible and lots of widgets to play with.

Sounds great!  I joined twitter yesterday for the first time.  I will go there right now and start following TexasWheel.
