For instance, I used to have a .plan, back when I was involved in game dev work. I'm not that old, either, but I guess it's that old *nix user soul in me (*BSDs for servers, Slackware for hybrids and rock-solid workstations, Ubuntu for the desktop). I always liked the simple delivery of it - just toss a little finger to the right number, and you had your update. (PS: for those of you who don't know the history of the .plan, scroll down on this article: http://tinyurl.com/yo392m ) -WFL It is amusing to me to look at how the online conversation and status updates have evolved.

Then I came back to it a few months ago and really took the time to figure out how to cancel out the noise and make it useful to me. I use it to post to my tumblelog, update my facebook status and chat asynchronously about a wide range of topics. I occassionally follow breaking news with it too. But I can easily see how it's not for everybody.

It feels like spam, all this vast amount of useless, superficial information. Did you just start a twitter account, because I'm interested to see your reactions to it.
