Rafe Needleman at Webware has written a great introduction to Twitter titled the Newbie’s Guide to Twitter. If you’re curious about Twitter, Needleman provides a pretty good overview. He compare’s it too Google’s Dodgeball service, but easier to use.
Personally, I think Jaiku is the better Twitterer. It reads everything, including my new del.icio.us tags, Flickr photos, tunes played and more. As someone over there tweets: “Twitter is so March 2007…” Mashable even pokes fun at the buzz with the Evolution of Blogging (the cat version).
Check’em out, and you can follow me either here on Twitter, or there on Jaiku.
In More than fine I share the stuff I think is worth sharing. I cover Web 2.0 developments, online communities, and knowledge management -- with a heathy dose of randomness to keep you on your toes.

So you are getting into the Jaiku, you said to me recently you were not sure you were going to keep it. Have you changed your mind?
I just wonder if I should try it. Twitter is fine before America awakes, after that it’s dreadful takes an age to load anything …. to the point it’s getting rather tedious now.
So what do you recommend Jeff. Should I swap?
Oh and thanks for the newbie guide by the way, extremely helpful for those new to the twitter bug.

Sarah, you should probably use both services. In the long-run, they’ll serve quite different purposes.
I might be slightly biased to give this advice, though

Thanks Petteri, no harm in giving it a try! ;0)

Well I have been using Jaiku for a few days now and enjoy it, so much so I think I have left poor twitters behind … Oh well all is fair in love and war :0)
