It started simply enough, when I signed up for an account. Then I could tweet from their website.
And then I enabled my cell phone, and I started tweeting while waiting to pick up my son at the bus stop.
Then I added BeTwittered to my Google homepage, so I could tweet between headlines, weather, and stocks.
Then I got tired of looking at a terminally blank Facebook status box, so I subscribed to Ping.fm.
Supposedly, tweeting from there would have updated both my Facebook status and my Twitter page, but I haven’t seemed to get it to work very well. So I installed the Twitter application in Facebook, which lets me tweet from within Facebook.
And then I started wondering why I kept getting automatic replies from some folks I followed, which led me to TweetLater. Now, I not only have an autoresponder that thanks people when they follow me, I also have a way to pre-load and schedule the release of tweets – like pre-loading and post-dating updates to a blog.
Speaking of blogging, nothing else since has made getting your content, message, mission, and vision out to the world been so easy.
That is, until Twitter came along.
I hope the owners of Twitter figure out how to monetize it, because I’d be so sad to see it go away…
