Twitter seems like it is becoming more and more popular these days.  Many site now have their own Twitter accounts that let you follow them and get notified when they update the site.  We are currently doing that and you can follow the Appdots site at http://www.twitter.com/appdots.

In addition to the site Twitter account, Justin and I can both be found on Twitter with our personal accounts.  You can follow me at http://www.twitter.com/brettq.  I will let Justin share his Twitter account later.  The reason we run both personal and site Twitter accounts is because a lot of people do not like their Twitter feeds to look just like a RSS news feed.  There are a lot of accounts out in the twitterverse that do nothing but put out notifications when a new article is posted.  This is what our Appdots account is currently doing on Twitter.  On the other hand, I use my personal account for a wide variety of things and I also usually retweet notices from Appdots.  We will be using the Appdots site for more content in the future and for possible contests, so it is worth it to keep it on follow just in case!

As for Twitter on the go, I am currently using a Palm Treo Pro as my daily driver device and am using PockeTwit as my Twitter client.  I also use Tweetie on my iPhone, which I think is still the best Twitter application on any platform, including PC/OSX.   There is a lot of room for polished Twitter applications on pretty much every platform, so if social networking is your thing, why not start coding the next great Twitter app?
