Twit Erring
I got on Twitter recently after repeated poking, and while I am hardly enamoured by the basis of the service (which seems to be the current human need to cry out to the world about each trivial detail of existence), I found myself actually updating the damn thing pretty regularly.

Why? Obvious -- ease of use! Between updates from IM and TwitterFox, it is really simple to “tweet” (eww ... +1 and -10 for terminology) and follow others’ updates. I value the “Now Playing” and tagging of LJ greatly, and that means using IM to post is not an option for me. Firing up LogJam is not difficult, but certainly not as trivial as IM’ing twitter@twitter.com.

I wonder how long I’ll stick with Twitter, though.

BTW, does anybody know an LJ client that uses the Gnome keyring? Would make life so much simpler.
