I've found TweetDeck to be more efficient in terms of keeping me informed, but it tends to distract me too much when I'm working, partly because of the amount of people I'm following. TwitterFox is far less distracting and doesn't pop up messages every few seconds, it just shows a number of new tweets received next to an icon at the Nik Peacheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13397596906147004693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8538821497321273745.post-78198453649722753812009-05-27T14:46:24.899-07:002009-05-27T14:46:24.899-07:00Thanks Nik, I found about this blog entry from @er...Thanks Nik, I found about this blog entry from @ericbaber via TweetDeck so that shows the power and the networking of like-minded people!

It is neither good nor bad, intelligent nor stupid, until of course someone starts to use it and then it can be any of the above. Personally I have found Twitter really useful and am getting more and more quality information from it, but for me that isn't what people have on their toast or how many coffees they have had, but for others it may be.
