I just send IM's to Twitter myself.</p>Chris RileyMon, 17 Mar 2008 21:51:13 -0000https://techliberation.com/2008/03/17/tweet/#comment-1453588<p>Yeah, you only need to provide your login info if you want it to automatically invite friends. Most people skip that part...</p><p>But, Tim, it'll be interesting to see what you think of Twitter. I had tried it a year ago and then dropped it, but picked it up again about 3 months ago, and found it to be useful in surprising and totally unexpected ways.</p><p>The thing that convinced me it was useful was watching the Iowa caucuses unfold via Twitter, with people at the actual caucuses reporting in, giving a much more accurate picture than CNN. It was fascinating.</p><p>Also, this weekend, watching the chatter about the Bear Stearns/JP Morgan deal was quite interesting.</p><p>It's also resulted in at least one random lunch meetup while I was in NY last month.</p><p>If you start to think about it as a sort of public/group chat, it becomes pretty neat.</p>Michael MasnickMon, 17 Mar 2008 20:36:52 -0000https://techliberation.com/2008/03/17/tweet/#comment-1453587<p>Oh, you can sign up, you just have to add your friends manually.</p>Tim LeeMon, 17 Mar 2008 14:48:54 -0000https://techliberation.com/2008/03/17/tweet/#comment-1453586<p>Wow, that is crazy. If you refuse to provide your password(s) is there any other way to use it?</p>Adam ThiererMon, 17 Mar 2008 14:46:27 -0000
