I’m now on Twitter

I’ve joked about not joining Twitter with David at the Fredcast but I’ve now been worn down.

I shall twitter away using the username ‘carltonreid’.

I’ll likely add links to breaking news on there, stuff from BikeBiz.com and maybe info that I can’t use on any of the sites I edit, but which are still interesting, like US-specific news, which I often shelve.

These two blog posts - twitter-is-your-AP-newswire and twitter-is-paying-my-rent - seem to be the most linked-to articles on why microblogging is in. They’re mentioned in this excellent, how-to-Twitter article that contains tons of further reading links.
