For the past six months or so I had been using Pock­eTwit as my main Twit­ter client on my Win­dows Mobile Pro­fes­sional (touch screen) phone.

I was inspired to write this post after read­ing a recent entry on Fan​boy.com titled, “Social Media ‘Experts’ are the Cancer of Twit­ter (and Must Be Stopped).”

I started using Twit­ter in Octo­ber 2008. I’m a geek who fol­lows the tech scene pretty closely, so I’ve been aware of Twit­ter for a long time; how­ever, since none of my friends were using it, I saw no reason to par­tic­i­pate (I didn’t think “taking a crap,” or “watch­ing a hockey game” would be remotely inter­est­ing tweets for anyone, even my clos­est friends). But now that I’ve been using it for a few months, I love it! I’ve had a lot of fun fol­low­ing tech blog­gers and pod­cast­ers whom I’ve been read­ing and listen to for the past few years. Even though I’ve never met them, I feel like we could grab a beer and have a lot to talk about. More
