Twittero,  ergo sum

Had René Descartes been living today - I am sure he would have a philosophical view on Twitter. Maybe even doubting its existence or his own. How trivial can twitter really become?
I had a great laugh yesterday checking out this video.

The cartoon guy in the video says:
"Twittering is just randomly bragging about your unexceptional life."

Use Twitter wisely. How to avoid the Twitter Time-sink.

Here are some useful links.

• 4 simple tips for avoiding the Twitter time sink
• 14 tools of highly effective twitter users
• 12 ways to use twitter to increase your productivity

Additionally, a few days ago web-designer depot wrote the ultimate Twitter guide.  in fact it is so popular that right now as I am writing this it can not be accessed. Must have blown the server! Bookmark this article and come back in a few days and I am sure it works again.

Twitter for birders

I am sure most of my birding friends have seen my two manuals on Twitter for birders. If not here they are again:

• Twitter for birders, part 1. An introduction
• Twitter for birders, part 2. Hashtags, RSS and Twitter can be used as a mobile Rare Bird Alert

There is yet another Twitter-like application in Beta version called Chirp-tracker. It is more directed to birders. The big advatage for a birder is that there is less noice.  Only birders are participating and chirping about birds. It will most likely become a huge success among birders. I hope it will become more like a proper Twitter-client in the future, so I can use it instead of Tweetdeck also for my non-birding tweeting. To try out the beta version. Get on Twitter and follow @chirptracker and ask to try out the beta version.

Let me know your favorite articles about Twitter and tips about applications.
