What's the point of twitter if you don't update it then? Don't get me wrong - I love the technology side of it and it has vast potential. I just think a more sophisticated implementation would lead to better value for everyone. Hah – I don’t think I could ever go Justin.tv.

What’s the point of twitter if you don’t update it then?

Don’t get me wrong – I love the technology side of it and it has vast potential.

I just think a more sophisticated implementation would lead to better value for everyone.

If you keep your own tweets out of the public loop, if you only follow your own friends, and if you only tweet ideas you're having, things you want to share, who is gonna know what you're doing? It's not forcing you to go all justin.tv, is it? Why does everyone keep mentioning the ‘I don’t want everyone to know what I’m doing all the time’ bit?

Rather than checking what everyone else is doing all the time, simply 'twitter' what you are working on and check the last 'twitters' made by the rest of the group and everyone should stay on track. I might sign up and have a play with it as it could be quiet useful if used properly. I can see how this could be a clever way to communicate between a group of people all working on the same thing.

I'm attempting to use it on my blog as a "micro-blog", but what I'd really like to do is have a private channel for Circle Six where we could keep each other posted on our doings and progress. It's fun and it's cool, it's just one of those things that, left to their own devices, people will turn in to something asinine. That was my thought exactly!
