Josh_Spaulding is giving away an iPod Touch. I figured I might as well put my name in the pot. It’s not that I’m known for winning contests but it’s true that if you don’t enter, you can’t win. The winner will be announced at approximately 1 p.m. EST May 8, 2009 via email so you still have time to enter.

Josh is one of the people I’m following on Twitter. I don’t know how you decide to follow someone or not. I generally go to their profile and look at the posts that are listed. If there is at least one that I am curious about, I click the follow button. It’s as easy as that.

Now, how do I know when someone tweets something? I’ve added the twitterfox app to my Firefox browser. It does the checking for me and makes it easy to keep up with what’s going on. If you are a high powered user, Tweetdeck seems to be well recommended and if I get to the place that I need more control over my Twitter usage, I will probably use it.

Not using Twitter? I know it sounds stupid when you first hear about it but there has to be a reason why so many people have gotten hooked. There’s something about having someone actually follow you and finding someone that you want to eavesdrop on. You don’t have to get messages from anyone you don’t want so if someone sends junk out, you can simply remove yourself from their list. No hard feelings. Besides, it’s fun.
