Today, I ran across a retweet Greg Pincus of Gotta Book posted about Twitter for Busy People.  It’s a handy way to view your friends’ tweets at a glance.  Check out the link to see what I mean.


I could see myself using this more easily than TwitterFox, which I have on my igoogle home page, but still find a bit daunting, since I often have 20 or more tweets before I get a chance to take a look at them.  And I’m not even following that many people… At *most,* I end up taking a cursory look and move on to more important things. Seriously! Who has time for this?? Twitter Curve

For me, the jury’s still out.  I use Twitter now and again, I like the way it occasionally points me to new/interesting info, but all in all – it’s feeling mostly just a. bit. too. much.
