Twitter, according to my friend, Martin, beats Plurk hands down when in comes to microblogging. I’d beg to differ but it’d be pointless because he’s right. Although Plurk’s social networking function does work, using it as a microblogging platform doesn’t really cut it for most people.
Tweeting is fun. I, for one, have experienced sharing a short conversation with some of the webcomics artists whose works I enjoy reading. I follow Tom Brazelton of The Theater Hopper, Joe Dunn of Joe Loves Crappy Movies, and Ryan Sohmer, the writer of Least I Could Do and Looking For Group.
But the biggest treat I came across on Twitter was Jeph Jacques, creator of Questionable Content. Imagine my surprise when I found that Faye, Marten, Dora, Penelope, Hannelore, Sven, Raven, and Pintsize (characters from the webcomic) all had Twitter accounts of their own. I am so in love with that comic strip that I followed all their Twitter accounts. Haha. Talk about being a fangirl. Pintsize is sick! Haha. He thinks like my friends.
But yeah, I’ve got a Twitter flooder for a boss, some IRL friends who rarely post stuff on Twitter, and favorite webcomic creators on my list. My Twitter feed is pretty much full. Haha. Too bad I can’t find Gordon McAlpin of Multiplex here on Twitter, though.
Do you use Twitter? How are you finding it so far?
I am @gmcalpin
