Motivation and support. Do you Twitter?

Just wondering if anyone uses Twitter. I can see how this could be useful for motivation and support.
Just imagine sending a Tweet saying "I am tempted to get that piece of chocolate cake for desert" and then getting several tweets from friends telling you DON'T DO IT!!! Or, tweeting "I know I need to hit the gym but I am having a hard time getting off the couch" and having several friends encourage you.
Tweets can be sent and received from your cell phone in the form of text messages. I integrate mine with Facebook as well.
Just curious about your thoughts.

That's a great idea! I think that would help me a ton, to be able to have that kind of support away from my computer.0

lol, I heard of it and even set up my account on the website & posted but don't know how to work it on my phone (afraid it will be lost of $$) plus I don't have anyone to read my tweets! :laugh:0

You can sign up for free at Twitter.com
If you do want to use your cell to post and receive, be sure you have an unlimited text plan.
Here is a youtube video that explains what Twitter is.

I have one. We're encouraged to use it for work. I never thought about using it for this, though. Good idea. Guess I'll have to set up a second account. Not sure if our clients would care to know that I ate three reese's peanut butter eggs last week :laugh:0

This is true. LOL I also use mine to stay in touch with family, old High School buds from 30 years ago, and close friends. It is nice to be able to send a short note saying I just made a big sale, or I am at the movies with the kids watching Mall Cop. But then, I am a gadget geek.0
