If you notice the horizontal menu bar going across the top of this site or on Disruptive Telephony (sorry, RSS readers, you’ll need to actually visit the site to see this), you’ll notice a new addition to the list of the various blogs at which I write (you may have to refresh/reload your browser) … yes, indeed, I figured it was probably time for me to add my Twitter page up there.

I’ve been experimenting with Twitter since the beginning of the year (courtesy of a tip from Chris Brogan) and as Jeff Pulver’s “twitter is…” posting this morning shows, the definition of what Twitter is really useful for keeps evolving. 

For me, I’ve found it a great way to keep up with what some friends are doing… kind of like a RSS reader showing snippets from their blogs… but with occasional personal content.  It’s also been a great source of links to things that are happening “now”. Items that are “breaking news” within the circle of people that I find interesting… along with quirky offbeat things that people throw in as well.  I’ve posted some questions and received some great answers.  I’m not one of the “Twitter addicts” who seem to live on it… but I do check it a couple of times a day (more than I honestly check my RSS reader).  I have noticed in my own workflow that Twitter has replaced the “travel blogging” I used to post to my personal blog when I was on a trip. The ability to easily SMS from a phone helps with that.  I’ve also found it definitely driving traffic to my sites when I’ve posted a link there.  All in all I’ve found it quite useful.

Useful, enough, anyway, that I figured I ought to add it to my blog navigation bars… it is now one of the places I “blog”.
