I'm a twit  

So I've been hearing the buzz and seeing a lot of other people doing it and have finally signed up for twitter. I keep hearing how cool this application is but I mostly hear about people competing to see who has the most followers. I read this blog post tonight and thought this was the coolest use of twitter I'd seen yet. WE ARE NOT CONSIDERING DOING THIS, I just thought it was a cool use of the product and it drove me over the edge to complete the signup process. I do not like the "I just ate a potato chip" posting aspect of twitter, don't expect that kind of crap from me. I do like the aspect of linking groups of people together for information sharing and keeping communities in touch. I am still a doubter, prove me wrong. Any fellow twitterers out there? What's the slang for your twitter ID? handle, address, username, screen name, twitname? I'm a twitter n00b but you can find me @slowethinking on twitter.
