I know it sounds like some parasitic insect that has infected me or something, but I guess it's really not far from the truth. You may have heard about it, but never really checked it out, but it's something that's kinda sweeping the geekdom right now, and spreading into the mainstream.

It's called Twitter.

What is it you may ask? Well Twitter defines it as:

Twitter is a community of friends and strangers from around the world sending updates about moments in their lives.  Friends near or far can use Twitter to remain somewhat close while far away.  Curious people can make friends.  Bloggers can use it as a mini-blogging tool. Developers can use the API to make Twitter tools of their own. Possibilities are endless!

I call it a grand little social experiment that may take off into other areas. I think it also may have some cool little viral and community engagement applications -- hence why I'm investigating it and getting engaged myself.

I'm on Twitter now and have a few friends on there, so if you sign-up or are already on, feel free to add Vidguy there (here's my page).
