Twitter Feeds gadget

Have just added a gadget for my  Twitter feeds to this blog. I'm still making my mind up about Twitter, but I have found it to be a very interesting tool to use. At the moment the balance is probably leaning towards using it for fun and recreation. For example, I got a lot of enjoyment following 'bumblecricket' and 'aggerscricket' on Twitter during the Ashes Test cricket series, but I can see how it can simultaneously be a very useful social networking and communication tool. In this sense it is one of those Web 2.0 tools that blurs the boundaries between work and play.

Another aspect of my use of Twitter is that I found it much more useful to use once I set up Tweetdeck on my deskop computer so that I could track a range of different search feeds simultaneously. On my Windows mobile, I have tried a number of different clients, but have so far settled on pocketwit as the best option.
