Follow The Mac Lawyer on Twitter

By Ben Stevens

After listening to many people, including my friends and tech gurus Kevin O'Keefe and Grant Griffith, preach the virtues of Twitter for a long, long time, I finally decided to open an account for myself to see what the buzz is all about.  My username is @TheMacLawyer (fittingly enough), and you can follow me at twitter.com/themaclawyer.

Twitter is one of those things that is a little hard to describe to others.  The short definition is that it is a micro-blogging service, but that doesn't tell you much.  Twitter describes itself as "a service for friends, family, and co?workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?"

To this point, I am still experimenting with how to best utilize Twitter, and the jury is still out.  I have posted some personal views/opinions there, and I will post some blog/tech related items in the future.  If any of my readers are on Twitter, please let me know and we can "follow" each other (in Twiiter-speak).  I'll try to post here from time to time to let you know what I think about Twitter going forward.
