While everyone is jumping on the BlackBerry bandwagon, I put my technophobe mask on even if the most powerful man in the world is hooked to it prompting the security service to toughen the security revolving around it. But here is something new that is sweeping the world and it is now starting to pick its followers here in the third world. It’s a bird! A bird that twits and is so techy!

By definition

Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?

Once you have signed up at twitter.com, you shall nominate your mobile phone number where the update or anwer to the question you post or to the question you have decided to be a follower of, you shall be getting instant alerts on the your cell phone. It’s real time but max characters are 160.

Unfortunately, updates via Philippine mobile phone is not yet functional. Well, I was able to have my number verified but I’lll be only able to send messages but not receive updates from Twitter.

I know it’s gonna be fully functional soonish so hang on little bird. I will soar and catch up!
