I have been anti-Twitter for quite some time. I've lobbied against it, arguing that I don't have time to get everything done much less update people about it all the time.
I had made an account some time ago, after being urged at work to figure out how it could help me. I didn't do anything with it, though. But recently, I was on the Web site for Crispus Attucks and noticed that they had a feed of their Twitter updates, with news and events posted. So I began "following" them on Twitter and started searching for other York-related posters.
Here are some of the York-related Twitterers (is that a word?) I've found so far:
YorkCounts
Penn State York
CapLive
Downtown Inc.
York Young Professionals
These are just a few. Some of them post more than others. I found most by searching around, or seeing who other Yorkers are following. But if you're interested in any of those organizations and want to keep up with them, Twitter might be a good way to do it.
So, I'm going to start using Twitter to post some occasional city updates. But I'm probably not going to turn into someone who "tweets" all the time. I just can't do it.

Just another flash in the pan, myspace is becoming forgotten, as soon as something else pops up facebook will go by the wayside and eventually twitter.
You're probably right. I kind of hope so. I read something the other day that said MySpace is trying to stage a comeback, though, so who knows ...
