Twitter is viral

Twitter

Twitter is viral -- and getting in the way already. Anyway, you can now follow me at http://twitter.com/dries.

You're going to want to turn off email notification of follows...

Getting a client that stays out of the way is important. I'm a fan of Twhirl, which you can turn off all notifications for unless someone sends you a message.

Asking questions / opinions is a great use, I find. Mindless browsing is bad...don't get sucked in!

Well, since my name is on there (twice, actually), I'd just like to apologise for the spam and say I'm happy to see you on Twitter.

Since you're likely to get thousands of followers over the next couple of days, I might suggest disabling "Email when someone starts following me" on http://twitter.com/account/notifications :)

I think the best way is to set a filter in Gmail which automatically archives every email which contains "is following you on Twitter" in the subject =)

I wonder how much money you had to plonk down to get "dries" as your nick on Twitter... Unless you registered dries during the very early days of Twitter because I can't imagine that no Dries anywhere in the world create a Twitter account in his name until now :D

But yeah, you'll be overwhelmed with "following" mails!

What made you change your mind to start tweeting? Why now and not two years ago for instance?

Kind of funny, I signed up for twitter yesterday, mainly coz every1 keeps mentioning it and stuff.

Must of been around 5pm that I was going around looking for people to follow, probably just missed me on that screenshot. :P

NikLP:

Bah, missed out on being on the screenshot, same as Barcelona and Szeged! Must make more effort to be *seen!* ;)
