It’s Official, I’m Twittering

Yesterday, it happened… I succumbed to Twitter’s siren song.  As you may know, I have toyed with Twitter membership.  I know several people who use it, but I couldn’t bring myself to take the plunge—I found it to be a lot more noise than signal, and another distraction.

What pushed me over the edge was a post by John Mack on his Pharma Marketing Blog.  While his post didn’t tell me anything new about Twitter, nor was it terribly persuasive, I found myself asking myself: Twitter… Why not?

In less than 24 hours of Twitter usage I’m following 18 people—mostly friends, colleagues and industry people that I respect—and 12 are following me—mostly reciprocal followers.  I’ve posted a few tweets including links to interesting services and what I had for dinner last night.  I’ve also discovered a couple interesting blog posts.  I have to admit, it is somewhat addictive; I’ll hold off on using the service on my phone for now.

I’ll post updates about my experience with Twitter here—whether I’m finding it useful, or a waste of time.  If you use Twitter, or are considering it, add me and I’ll do the same.
