Is Twitter really blogging? Somehow I doubt it but people seem to be having fun with it anyway. Love it or hate it, Twitter has it’s die-hard fans and seems to be here to stay.
So if you are a Twitter-a-Holic then you will want to grab this software download. It’s called Twitteroo and it allows you to:
Update your Twitter status from your Desktop
URL shortening via rurl.org
Twitter notifications
View your Friends timeline or the Public timeline
Clickable links from status messages
Refreshes automatically or manually
Set refresh time and notification transparency
Support for international characters in status messages
Browse to Twitter user page or personal websites
Customize Twitteroo font size
Set transparency for main Twitteroo window and notifications
Optional sound notification when new tweets arrive
Bite-sized cookies made from real Twitter
There’s also an Apple version called Twidget that you can download as well.

I have never understood the point of Twitter. Why do people use twitter?

That’s a good point Mary … um … … ah … hold on … I’m still thinking. Ya got me there.
All kidding aside it seems to meet 3 needs:
1. Some people use it like a public chat line. With the open web and social networking all the rage, privacy is a thing of the past;
2. Some use it as a micro link-blog. It’s great for lazy a-listers who don’t want to write much or dilute their blog pagerank;
3. Blogpreneurs use it as a networking tool.
To each their own.
