I would pay more attention to Twitter if:

1. I could have a desktop client on my main computer at work;
2. TweetDeck didn’t take up an enormous amount of memory on my home computer;
   OR
3. Twitter.com itself made it easier to listen.

I would be happier with Twitter being part of the world if:

1. People would stop fretting and fussing that Twitter is causing the general populace to cease to read longer texts such as books;
2. It didn’t lend itself so easily to generating new words such as “tweeps.”  It’s ridiculous – I was half inclined to name this post “twifs.”

Things I’ve learned because of Twitter:

1. URL shorteners are handy;
2. Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog was fun;
3. Automated messages are Irritating.
