Long have people cried to me that I need to get on the social networking bandwagon. Long have I resisted. No said I to their Bebos, their Facebooks and their MySpaces.
But tonight out of boredom, a desire to try something new, and too much time waiting for a bus to be able to leave work – I joined Twitter. To be fair to it, its an idea that has interested me for a short while. Somewhere between blogging and SMS, Twitter has been used by thousands to spread news, promote themselves and their wares, or just tell us what they are doing. And yes, like 99% of the other stuff on the internet, 99% of it is of no interest to you or me. The art comes in getting your point across in 140 characters or less.
So from now on you will be able to follow me at twitter.com/aidan_walsh.

Twitter is to techno-geeks as a bonsai tree is to a Japanese businessman. It constantly requires attention to be any good and only serves to prove you spend way too much time on the internet/at work.
