Twitter

I know; it's geeky and I'm a dork for liking it. But it's things like this that makes technology fun!

Twitter.com is a free online service that allows you to let your friends know what you're up to as well as keep up-to-date with your friends' activities. (If you're familiar with Facebook, it's basically like the "status" updates there, but much more up-to-the-minute and better connected.)

Here's how it works:

1) Sign up for a free account at www.twitter.com.
2) Start entering your your "update" status with whatever you're doing at the time.
3) Follow your friends to see what their doing (this is updated on the "recent posts" page.
4) Set up your mobile device to allow Twitter to accept text messages from your cell phone.
5) Stay connected!
