Edited to add - I forgot to say how I use Twitter. I haven't been on that long so my use is still evolving.

- asking and answering quick questions (Twitter is much more immediate than FT, but also more ephemeral)
- micro blogging (stuff too small for a blog post)
- learning all sorts of useful travel stuff (demographic is a bit different to FT)
- alternate news source (much more immediate than my other sources)
- etc

I think it's kind of creepy, but I signed up anyway to see what all the tweet is about. So far only Barack Obama has asked to follow me. As I said, it's kind of creepy...

lili ---why do you think its creepy?

Well, for one thing, supposedly Barack Obama wants to follow me. :D

I think it's an age thing, and I don't quite get it. Probably related to the idea of following somebody. I'm thinking stalking rather than friendly chatting.

But you have to keep up, so I'm giving it a try. Is there any way to seach for like-minded people to follow?

whakojacko.

Also, everyone use the #boarding (airport code) hashtag.

Now that's cool!

follow me!

I'm on it as well (link in signature). Still pretty new and figuring it out, but I think this could be a revolutionary communication tool . . .

I assume I'll use mine more as a mini-blog/news aggregator/networking tool, rather than a duplicator of my facebook status, but we'll see.

Other than the #boarding tag, which seems awesome, are there any other travel/airport specific applications that one should be aware of?

Here are some

#travel
#twavelers
#traveldeals

If anyone wants me to follow them send me a tweet (@globtrav) and say your from FT (plus your handle here if not obvious).

I'm on. I don't know why, or what I'm going to use it for, but I already slightly addicted.

First thing this morning was to check what Stephen Fry was up to, and see if I had any followers!
