Well I want to start off by saying this is my first review of anything, I thought it would be good to do it on something I just recently discovered! So here it goes!

So I’ve never actually thought twitter could be useful, until today.

Having Twitter integrate so seamlessly into my blog works wonderfully! (See right hand column for what I’m talking about!)

I’ve also integrated Twitter into my Facebook account, via the application TwitterSync. I chose this application, because the standard “official” Twitter syncing application keeps updating your status as “is twittering:” followed by your real status update, which gets QUITE annoying, to ones self, and their friends.

I’ve tried using the MySpace application by the same name (different author) but it’s intentions are different, it takes your current MySpace status, and syncs it to Twitter, which isn’t my preference, I would rather go to Twitter, type in ONE status update, and have all my social networking sites update with the same status, until somebody codes a MySpace application that does what the Facebook one does, I think I’ll be leaving my MySpace status as blank for a while, it is to much of a pain to update it separately.

Overall, I really love the idea of Twitter, and it can be turned into quite a powerful tool, especially for bloggers like myself!

If anybody is curious, the Twitter updates I have on the right hand side of my blog, is direct code from Twitter, it is NOT a plugin or widget for WordPress (what my blog is powered by) which makes it even more exciting!
