I'm really liking Twitter lately, but I don't feel like I've found the most efficient way to keep up with Twitter posts yet. I'm currently reading most of them via Digsby (http://www.digsby.com), which is an instant messaging program that also shows you Twitter, Myspace and Facebook statuses. When I'm on vacation or out of town I'll sometimes receive Twitters via SMS on my phone, but I think that would get annoying to have running every day even when I'm at home.
I've tried other Windows applications and Firefox extensions and haven't liked them much. Digsby is nice, but it seems like I could do better. Anyone have any suggestions? Here are links to other Twitter programs:
http://twitter.com/downloads (http://twitter.com/downloads)
http://twitter.pbwiki.com/Apps (http://twitter.pbwiki.com/Apps)
What would be perfect is if I could just subscribe to the RSS feed of my Twitter friends list. But Twitter won't allow that. From what I've read, I think they used to let you do that but for some reason they won't anymore. I could subscribe to the individual feeds of every person I follow on Twitter, but that would be tedious. It shouldn't be that difficult.

i love texting by twitter, and getting my twitters by text. i use it some from my computer, but far more often from the phone.. i should probably stick to doing it from my computer from home, but i find it bizarrely fun to use by text wherever i am.

i suckered both of you into to twitter, morons.

What? I was on Twitter months before you, linear! I'm so much more of an old school Twitterer than you are. I've been using this service for 5 or 6 months, you know!

I still haven't checked to find out what Twitter is.

DON'T!
For once you enter the world of the Twitter, you can never escape it. It consumes you.

same here

I refuse to deal with twitter until someone explains what it is. It sounds new and scary and I'll have nothing to do with it until someone can explain it with a simple metaphor that makes it seem all alright.
-
So, it's like an IM deal that isn't real time? Didn't we have that in the nineties and we called it a "guest book?'
-
but you can do it by TEXT MESSAGE! :D

Don't encourage them, they know exactly what Twitter is. They're just trying to be too cool for it.

i can't profess to be too cool for twitter when, on the occasions when i do update twitter from computer instead of text message, i update from a client i wrote for the hell of it. i am pretty sucked in, and i do realise how pathetic i am.

Yea, and those 22k modems that took five years to boot up while it made sounds like it was giving birth, and you missed those phone calls that your sister died because you tied up the line and...
Oh yea, I forgot. Web 1.0 sucked. ;D

No way. Reading bomb guides and terrorist handbooks on a 28.8 modem completely owns reading Digg comments and 4chan posts on broadband.

I honestly tried to use twitter, but I just don't get it. I don't care what my friends do all the time to be honest. The only use it would be good for is getting to know people you've met online or something a bit more personally, but I don't want random people online knowing my daily details.
"Just took a big poop"
"Eating a Big Mac"
"Jacking off to gay dolphin porn"
"My dad caught me jacking off to gay dolphin porn again"
I have an account and subscribe to worthwhile news sources like the mars lander and political figures, but I don't care to delve into the personal side of things. For some people, politicians, site admins, or some other person that actually has an audience it is a neat tool, but for the average person, it is just a fabricated sense of celebrity and egotism that is really quite stupid. I don't care that my neighbor Billy found a neat new shirt at wal-mart.
I've had my account for a couple months and have gotten several requests from complete strangers to follow me. Why? If you add random people that you haven't the slightest clue who they are, doesn't it kind of alienate the whole thing? Who gives a fuck what I do? I don't give a fuck what you do.
It's a big community of nothing.

That would certainly make using something as gay-sounding as Twitter more forgivable.

i can't say mine's necessarily decent. :D it's the product of a n00b with a bash scripting textbook and too much time on her hands.

Might possibly want.

I just keep up with the few of you who are decent enough to set up that Loudtwitter thing to copy everything to your damn Livejournals where it belongs.
