I was always wandering why some people were Twittering while they are in conferences and sessions. first for who don’t know what I mean of Twittering . Twittering in our situation is the act of adding contents to your account on Twitter.com . Twitter.com cares about what you are doing now. you can use this website to tell the others about what you are doing at this moment. after getting your twitter account, you will be able to log your life moment by moment. I can call this “the more detailed blogging”.

an entry in your twitter page can look like that

  • I’m eating
  • it was a long day I will go to sleep
  • heading to the work
  • watching the movie “300″
  • walking with my dog
  • waiting my stupid girlfriend in the street and it’s snowing now . [if I were you, I won't write that in public]

like what you noticed. all the entries are very short and just makes your friends updated about what you are doing now. they got an RSS feeds too. also, you can follow others and you will get notified on your IM or Mobile whenever they add new entries.

this looked stupid for me too at the beginning, but I liked it when I found a useful use of it.

Cal Evans wrote at the end of a blog post on Zend’s DevZone that he will be Twittering about what’s happening in the MySQL conference. I thought that this can be a good chance for me to know the difference between twittering live from a conference and live blogging.
like what I expected, the entries were small and descriptive. this can give you fast notes  about what’s happening their at this time and URLs of the slids. you will feel like you are there but not totally. if you want the full information, you will have to wait till someone writes a blog post about what happened.

it’s cool anyway and I like it. I have added a small twitter widget to this blog, that’s will show you what I’m doing now. also, if you want to follow me on Twitter.com you will find me here.

the genius guys at JoyOfTech.com made a funny thing before about twitter that you will love to see or maybe, learn from :D
