***
Me and Twitter... on again?
I got a Twitter account when it was brand spanking new and no one was on it yet and I could not figure out what in the world to do with it so I just let it lie.
Then, a few months later, we got snow here in Seattle and I thought 'hmmm, wonder if Twitter knows about this...' To my delight, I discover that Twitter did and I learned all manner of interesting and useful things during that snow storm. I hung around for a few years but I never found a really comfortable way to keep an eye on my feed. None of the clients worked for me nor did the various web options.
And then came Google+ and I unTwittered myself fast. For months and months I barely even noticed Twitter. And then it snowed today. It's the perfect storm of Google+ not having the snow info I knew was on Twitter, having time on my hands to discover two new, interesting Twitter apps and bam, like the prodigal son, I am back.
There seems to be little to no Twitter/G+ overlap which I think is interesting. I'll keep an eye out for a while and see how it goes.
BTW, the two apps I found are Destroy Twitter (a truly stupid stupid name for a very lovely, simple, perfect-for-me feed reader) and MetroTwit which has a much nicer name but not quite as small and efficient looking.
