I have blogged about my experiences with Twitter before. I realized recently that these posts document my journey from a twitter skeptic to a twitter addict.

• Twittervision - People I don’t know telling me things I don’t care about
• Microblogging with Twitter and Jaiku
• My Favorite Quotes - Confessions of a Twitter Lurker
• Notes from the 2007 PNME (Podcast and New Media Expo)
• Twitter and TwitterPod
• Living with CPA (Continuous Partial Attention)
• Hope vs What?

There are a number of different ways that people use the microblogging service that is Twitter.com and there is some contention about what is the “correct” way to use it. Merlin Mann (who made my list of favorite twitter posters in: My Favorite Quotes - Confessions of a Twitter Lurker) has argued that twitter is poetry. The 140 character updates that one is limited to in twitter are a form of haiku.

But I find more and more form me personally twitter is more like digg.com. It is a place where I learn interesting stories from interesting people. I notice that I gravitate to some of the people I follow who have an interesting story to tell me. I still use RSS feeds to track interesting blogs but I find that I only check my RSS reader every other day or so now, because I have already read the best stories via twitter.
