In case you aren't on the bandwagon, Twitter is a micro-blogging/instant messaging communication tool that asks you to answer the question, "What are you doing?" and allows you to follow as many people's answers/updates as you want. It's incredibly fun. Incredibly addicting. And quite often incredibly distracting.
There are lots of smart folks out there that have created cool applications to make better use of Twitter. Here are a few of the best:
- Twubble: Searches your friends and suggests people you might like to follow.
- Tweetscan: Search Twitter for anything.
- Twhirl: My favorite desktop Twitter app. Pop-up update notification is an excellent distraction!
- Twittervision: A world map that moves to show the geographical location of the latest "tweet" (twitter updates are called "tweets"). Fascinating time-waster.
- Twitter Fan Wiki: Everything you'd ever need to know.
- Twitterholics: A blog covering all things Twitter.

I'm such a twitterholic. I've seen another app, though I don't know the name, that condenses all of your tweets each day and posts them into your blog as a single post. I wish I could find it.

I just hopped on the Twitter wagon a couple of weeks ago. I'm a big "Mad Men" fan and was excited to find out that the characters from the show all Twitter. I'm following @don-draper and several of the others. When I got an e-mail saying "@don_draper is following you," it made my day!
You can follow me, too–I'm @hookedonhouses. -Julia
