Microblogging St. Albans With Twitter

Over the past few weeks I've noticed that a few of the other St. Albans based bloggers are also using Twitter.

For those who haven't used it, the service is pretty simple - users respond, in 140 or characters or less, to the question "what are you doing now". You also follow the "tweets" of your friends and they follow you. It's a great way to keep your friends up to date on what you're doing and where you'll be and, as you can update and follow using SMS, it's perfectly suited for people who commute or find themselves away from a computer. To avoid the risk of starting to sound like an advertisement, I'll stop there and tell you about the thing I came here to blog about in the first place, an add on service to twitter called twitterlocal.

TwitterLocal lets you search for tweets being made within 1/3/5/etc etc miles from a specific place. So if you want to find other St. Albans people to follow on Twitter this is a good place to start. You could also follow me if you want although be warned, I tweet primarily about work related stuff.
