I find Twitter extremely annoying. The idea of company’s twittering to reach customers isn’t as clever as they may hope: all of their “updates” will be viewed with the same suspicion that any thinly veiled spam is. I use Twitter on one of my blogs as a very lazy way to add content. Moms are using it like crazy (and will for some time) because their lives are crazy and often somewhat isolated; they get to connect with friends and heard in less tan 30 seconds. 15 seconds if they have a Blackberry. When a business tweets, they’re doing so to the choir, their cult following, not to prospective customers.

The hell, right? I mean, I could see if there was a problem but why *schedule* maintenance during blogher? Totally insane.

I’m sure it didn’t hurt that nearly all the syndication and traffic talk included fully utilizing Twitter… hmm… do you think maybe BlogHer is an influential force? YEAH BABY!

Yes, have been guilty of tweeting in lieu of blogging.

Back in the saddle.

Oops. I just realized Katie wrote the post. Andrea F was the one stuck in SFO with me.

Did you make that call to your mom?

And, while I’m writing, yes the first sentence in my comment above should read “Following from….”

Following form John Bell’s blog. I hope you made it out of SFO! My flight was delayed for five hours. Urgh.

I joined Twitter during my time at BlogHer. I had been trying to get things going over at Plurk, but the reality is that most of my friends are on Twitter. Don’t expect a Twitter strike any time soon; moms love it.

The women of BlogHer are amazing! Drop me a note through my blog if you want 20 minute’s worth of my $.02 on mom blogs.
