How many people use it? It is supposed to be the next 'big thing' in social media. I can see the appeal of it...but nobody I know uses it (except my boss, which is a little weird I guess).

Akron is good :) It is the 'little brother than does everything right but everyone ignores'. Big brother being Cleveland, of course. Around where did you grow up?

Know where Indian Mountain Park is? I lived right in front of it on Hanover st.
Used to slide down the hill on my sled, under the wooden fence, to my house!
I miss snow...:)

You sure about that? We always consider Akron to be the younger brother always trying to be as good as it's older brother. ;)

Yeah, don't we all want to be the 10th most dangerous city in the country :)

No, I love Cleveland. They are really two completely different cities and can not be compared. But man...Cleveland has Akron beat big time in food. Empress Taytu is phenomenal and Dewey's Pizza across from Cedar Lee is some of the best pizza I have ever had.

Does this make Toledo the red-headed step-child? Sweet!

Anyways, no Twitter here.

Weird that there isn't like a 'twitter thread' on this forum. Most twitter users are Mac users as well.

If the situation has changed itself, I'd like to know if any of the Mac-forums peoples are twittering...

Anyway, I twitter at http://twitter.com/goobimama
And my cat twitters at http://twitter.com/ismallcat

I have one and used it for a little while, but there are two things that i don't like about it. One being that no one i know uses it and the other being that all it really did was isolate one of the features that all the other social networking sites have and give it it's whole own social network. IMO it's sorta pointless unless you don't want all the hassle of a Facebook or myspace profile, which I can see the appeal of but it's just not for me.

The only times that I would stop what I am doing to twitter would be times when I am not doing anything interesting worth twittering about. I have an account but I just use it so get text messages from one of the mac sites during Apple events.
