I have a few Twitter accounts but I don’t use them much except to tweet new blog entries whenever I write an article for a site. I follow tons of people, but I rarely read their entries because…well…I really don’t care that “they’re driving around the parking lot at Walmart trying to find a spot” or “having a touch of heart burn after a slice of pizza” lol.
But today I experienced some of the best of Twitter. It’s been a while since I’ve had a Twitter client on my BlackBerry and I know the beta versions of UberTwitter and SocialScope have probably evolved a lot.. I didn’t feel like digging up tons of UberTwitter vs. SharkScope posts on CrackBerry so I posted on Twitter asking which client people preferred and which was better on battery life, memory, etc. Within minutes I had a whole slew of responses from BlackBerry users weighing on on the pros and cons of each client. I asked a few follow up questions which were answered equally as fast. It was like having a massive, instant virtual help desk at your finger tips. This is of course also a testament to the awesomeness of BlackBerry users who are such a helpful and cool bunch from what I’ve experienced on the various forums like CrackBerry and BlackBerryOS.
So I think I will be turning to Twitter for advice more often. I’m off to cook dinner now which has me thinking I should tweet asking for some good recipes
