finally, Twitter

Posted on | March 13, 2007 | 1 Comment

so, after all the buzz during past weeks, I finally signed-up for a Twitter-account (in case you’re of the hype-resistant type, Twitter is basically free, public group-SMS + Web 2.0-features, a mixture between blog & IM). turns out it is one of few SMS-based services from the United States that actually works on European (or at least Austrian) networks/contracts. plus its really fun to use… subscribe to (or “follow”) some of the heavy-users and your phone won’t be quiet anymore but seriously, this is a great tool for marketing your blog/event/party/product/website/ego to hardcore-followers, with a biiig potential for annoyance

interested? follow me on Twitter!

update: posting to your Twitter-account from Austria requires SMSing to a german phone-number, which – depending on your contract – might be (slightly) more expensive than national SMS.

btw, don’t follow Twitter’s in other timezones and forget to turn off your mobile at night!
