DISQUS

I recently switched from Snitter to Twhirl because Snitter started acting up. I also liked to try something new I guess.

At home, I'm still on OS 10.3.9 so I have to make do with something called TwitterPost, but it's okay.

As for mobile use, I have direct messages on (always) and sometimes switch the service on when I'm out for the night. I have marked a few dozen or so people as 'notifications on' so I only get their tweets on my phone, not all my contacts. That way I'm not swamped.

I do tweet a lot from my phone though, notably when I'm on the bus or something.

I'd been hearing more and more talk about Twine again recently and thought maybe they'd opened up, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

That said, I haven't seen it work of course and I wonder how exactly it would be going to help me and what with.

A few notes on that for you. Personally I...

add everyone back (except for blatant marketing spam)
have it open all day (and semi-follow the stream)
use it for venting, sharing, discussing
use it as an informative tool: what's going on, what's the news, who's saying what
use it as a search engine (terraminds will link to more new content than any news site ever will)

Most importantly: I get inspired by it, and by all the cool people on it doing all that they do

That's about it. Hey, you asked ;)

I printed this out, put it on my whiteboard and am letting everyone see this so they realize why we need interaction with our users/customers.
