Ever since I first heard about twitter (way back when, probably on TWIT), I’ve resisted getting involved in it because I was certain that it would be just another thing that would stop me getting things done. I eventually signed up at twitter, but just in a kind of a land-grab sort of way: to get the itauthor twitter name before someone else did. But not a tweet was heard from me after that. Not until recently.

After listening to an interview with the makers of Blu on Hanselminutes, I decided to download this desktop client for twitter, just to see the login screen that Scott was getting so excited about. Of course, needless to say, I start using it and pretty soon I’m installing TwitterBerry on my Blackberry.

So will it stop me getting things done? Well, I’m not sure yet. I can’t see myself twittering very much – but you never know. What I’d like to know is:
Is there some way in which twitter could help me to get things done?
If there is then I could justify using it and it wouldn’t feel – as it does right now – like a guilty pleasure.
