I just NEEDED Twitter
Email has been acting odd for an hour.
I use email as a part of some of the marketing programs I run for my clients.
Messages started stacking up in my Outbox.
After about an hour of researching why Outlook might be sick, or if there was a way to speed up my delivery system, it hit me that maybe my provider was having a bad day and I should see what others are saying on....Google? Nah, not real time.
TWITTER! I hit www.Search.Twitter.com and in second found loads of 1and1.com users who were reporting seconds before that email was down. Damn that's a good use for Twitter. Makes dopes like me who suggest that all that people are Twittering about is how they are heading to the bathroom - look even more dopey!
So...I am going to make a quick scan of Twitter a regular part of my research process.
