Lots of people are Twittering these days, and I just don't know why? What value to your day does it add? How does it better help you achieve your daily tasks? I know what its about, but I don't see the value!

Am I alone? Do you see the value?

Let me know.

On a side note, I find some of the technology stories about Twitter interesting - billions of small messages, being delivered real time, and tracked by millions of users - interesting stuff!

I'm must be such a Darren! Twitter = "Randomly bragging about an unexceptional life" LOL

SuperNews! Trouble with Twitters

Nails it for me ;)

Some kewl links from around the web today:

• Microsoft release a new open-source security tool called !exploitable Crash Analyser that helps developers analyse software crashes to see if the problem could lead to a security vulnerability. Looks interesting. Details are available on the Microsoft site, and you can download it from Codeplex.
• Ars Technica has an interesting article on how the performance gains in Windows 7 I've mentioned previously can be attributed to the advent of the Netbook. Interesting. And on ZDNet, they have tested the latest Windows 7 build (7057) and found it to be the fastest Windows OS yet.
• There is an interesting article on Tech Crunch that questions how good HitWise data really is, and a subscription isn't cheap.
• I love Chrome, and actually switched from Firefox mainly for the large improvements in speed. And it seems I'm not alone, some signalling this is the end for Firefox.
• Scott Hanselman has writing a great post on creating mobile ASP.NET MVC apps (well ASP.NET apps in general) and the new mobile.browser file available from Codeplex.
• Maybe there is a use for Twitter after all - How to remotely Admin Servers via Twitter!
• And lastly, was TRYING to read The Age this morning, when the ad below popped up and covered the entire page! It didn't even allow me to close it. I had to copy & paste the page into Notepad++ to read it. I bet the ad click throughs were nice and high ;)
