And I don´t really want to know what people are doing. I use Twitter to share my thoughts. And I would only want to hear about some people´s thoughts. What follows is an example of what I twitter.

This is the year in which Europe will either fall apart or emerged stronger. I give it 75% that it emerges as a stronger union but the risk of collapse is still there. Germany has the key to solve the problem because of the size of its economy, its saving rate and its export volume. Germany has to decide on whether it continues to transfer some of its wealth in order to create markets for its exports or it let’s Europe fall apart and ends up with an overvalued currency and deteriorated markets. Already today it started paying negative interest rates which is a prelude in my view to a huge rise in the DM should it be born again. Tough choice. I think Germany can actually both save Europe and make money by buying underpriced Italian and Spanish bonds and selling them after stabilization. It can do what the FED did with many financial institutions, make a profit by providing much needed liquidity at a critical time.

I’m sure “What are you doing?” was simpy an incentive. It’s not a contract. As long as your twits are in the same note as “if speeding is dealt with fines so should illegal downloads”, I’m going to be following. I’m myself trying to keep twits relevant. I don’t expect my friends to take any of the “I’m feeding the cat” crap.

Frustrating…twitter is blocked here in UAE.
Like many other websites, the government of the Emirates controls what people should and or shouldn’t access.
Great.

Fabian, I guess why the UAE government blocks twitter is because folks can use it as Martin does – to share their thoughts.

Michael, sorry for my delayed reaction to your comment.
Yes, you are right, the government here controls what people can and cannot look at.
Not only porn or gambling is blocked, but sites with a political view, some religious sites and anything that might sound anti-Muslim, is sooner or later detected and blocked by the local authorities.
Sad.

Hello Martin. I want to suggest Jaiku as an alternative to Twitter. It is more stable and has more options (like importing feeds which lead to automatic posts).
I think it is worth a try.

Ansgar,
I have Jaiku but I need it to work with jabber.

No worries. ~100% of people on Twitter misuse it.
