Hi,

I twitter from the travel blogging perspective and there is a lot of micro-blogging going on.  What's a mash up?  I clicked on your hyperlink, but I'm still not clear on the concept.  Thanks.

I just signed up - and I enjoy it!  I've just left a few messages for my friends, but unlike blogging it's fast and simple.  A quick update about dinner, or kids, or books, but nothing more then a couple of simple sentences.  It seems especially handy when you want to let people know about life, but dont have time to write or read a full blog post.

I have just started, but we'll see if I find it addicting.

Hi Vered,

You are correct that most folk do use it to keep in touch -- and it is a micro-blogging platform. After I typed my original post, I noticed that quite a few bloggers will "advertise" their blog via a tweet -- a teaser with a link back to the blog post.

I have been pondering how to be more innovative using Twitter -- for example, how to integrate twittering with blogging in a more transparent manner.

There are already Twitter mashups (of course). Here I am ( http://twittervision.com/mgrey ).

See Your Guide to Micro-Blogging and Twitter ( http://www.pbs.org/mediashift/2007/05/for_the_uber... ) for Mark Glaser's excellent overview. Scroll down to the Glossary... My favorite "Twitterverse or Twitosphere: the universe of Twitter users."

I think most people use it just to network/ keep in touch? Not really for micro-blogging. As long as you follow people who interest you, those updates are actually fun. many of them make me smile throughout the day, at times when normally I would be bored or irritated. 

Someone did say (write) once that she is going to develop a tweet into a blog post.
