Lately I have started to use Twitter more.  My first try at twitter was unsuccessful as I found it quite useless.  Now however I may have to reconsider.

I used twitter to keep my family up to date when my wife went into labour.  That experience was quite positive and it encouraged me to use twitter more. 

The more I use it the more I like it.  I now follow few people and find that getting updates from their time lines is not as annoying as I thought it would be.  The opposite is the truth.  I know through the people I follow am discovering new links and other cool stuff on the net. 

I also like how you can use twitter just about everywhere.  I use it at home, I use it at work and I even use it on my ipod touch when ever I can find a hotspot. 

I'm pleasantly surprised at twitter and for now will continue to use it regularly.
