I’ve been ignoring this site for a while, as I haven’t had any need for it whatsoever… or, that’s what I thought. 😛

[Twitter](http://www.twitter.com)

After 15 minutes or so, I’ve become totally addicted. The best way I can describe it, is as a **passive** , social IM service.

It’s really quite neat… I need to get everybody on this, so I can stop using IM. The passiveness of this is great.
