Twitter 101 and More Scenes from Krispy Kremes

Here’s my final clip from Saturday’s Krispy Kreme Challenge in downtown Raleigh (see below for more details). It features my co-worker Wayne Sutton, who introduced me to the world of Twitter.com, and another local Twitter user named Ryan.

You’ve probably noticed my Twitter feed in the left-hand column of my blog. For those of you who aren’t familiar, Twitter is a Web site that asks users to answer one simple question: “What are you doing?” You can do this by posting updates on Twitter.com or you can even text your updates from your cell phone directly onto your page.

I usually post my updates via text, so you’ll sometimes see that I’m “grocery shopping” or “drinking beers at Flying Saucer” or something else Ginny-like. Having my texts, Twitter account and blog synced up allows me to stay plugged in all the time (not sure if this is cool or lame, but it can be fun).

Anyway, you can follow me on Twitter at twitter.com/ginnyskal or by constantly checking the lefthand column of my blog. You can follow Wayne at twitter.com/waynesutton and Ryan at twitter.com/theRab.

And now for the Triangle Twitterholics at the Krispy Kreme Challenge:

Are you familiar with Twitter? Would you consider joining? Already a member and I don’t know about it?
