WE'RE ALL A TWITTER

SXSW (South by South-West) is a conference that is held in the United States and everyone was all a "twitter" about Twitter.

Twitter is a tool that is used to communicate to your friends and family where you are at any given time of the day.

It only allows 140 characters per post so you have to be nice a short.

It is an interesting tool but I am unsure what It brings to the playing field already. Phone texting is usually what is used in Twitter's place. Although the service is free it encourages you to use your cellphone to post entries. Why would I spend the money on data (which is really expensive here in Canada) when I could just send a text message?

I really can't see this service lasting more than a year. I would rather use my built-in messaging capabilities in my cellphone.
