After avoiding Twitter without much difficult for quite a while, you piqued my interest with "twitter is expected in social networking circles". That's one of the areas I'm going, so I'm curious how it's used there. Anyway, I'm on now-- jrising.
I don't think I want to juggle another communication client, though. But I think I've found some alternatives: http://arstechnica.com/reviews/apps/pidgin-2-0.ars/4 has a Pidgin plugin for using status messages as Twitter statuses, and I'm sure there's a RSS-to-Pidgin plugin somewhere. Alternative, http://code.google.com/p/microblog-purple/ might be replacement for the latter piece or the whole thing.
