Personally, I'm against using it as a personal status updater. Why limit your personal status to 140 characters when you have a Facebook account? Or your own blog? There are so many more methods of getting out what you're doing this very instant much more effectively, and Twitter will not survive as a fad for long if more and more people use it in this very way (and they are).

My unfortunate prediction for Twitter is the following: Although it will remain useful as a means for professionals in certain industries to communicate effectively, it will die as a fad within a year. Growth has been extremely high recently, given the popularity given to it by certain celebreties (Opera, Ashton Kutcher, etc.), however these new users are almost all using it as a limited Facebook status. They will use it for a month, and slowly move on to other things and forget about it entirely. It's just the nature of things, but mainly the nature of fads. Harumph.

Anyway, you can now see my four latest tweets (why four? Because that's what I decided, haha) on the far right sidebar of this page. You can also click the link "Follow me on Twitter" to see my Twitter homepage.

Cheers!
