Do you tweet?
I didn't really get the concept (and I'm sure I still don't) nevertheless, I entered the world of twitter some time ago and I am plodding on through.
I initially followed contacts from blogs I liked but increasingly I am branching (heh!) out and I have started to follow a couple of twitter feeds in Dutch. My Dutch is not good by anyone's standards but I am most confident reading so 140 characters is perfect for me. Often I will follow the links and start reading full articles in Dutch which is even better.
I'm not sure if helping people learn another language was one of the goals twitter set themselves when they set out to conquer the social media field but its certainly helping me.
If you want to follow me on twitter, there is a link in the right hand column which will take you to my feed.
If you are already on twitter, leave me a comment and let me know.
Do you tweet? If so what is the biggest advantage of twitter for you?
Note: As I was writing this Maryam of My Marrakesh tweeted a link to 20 Interesting Expats to Follow on Twitter. What do you think? Are there others you would add?

Hmm... I would love to hear more about how you've found Twitter. I'm still resisting joining because I just don't get why I would possibly care what people are doing with their socks, breakfast or mops- which are just a few of the weird things I've read on the more popular crafting twitters' pages. Weird!! :-) I'm glad you're getting the language benefit, though- bonus!
