This might be the only reason why you should start using Twitter
My friend Nurbek pointed me to this news, which I thought was pretty amazing.

So if you are not already using Twitter, make sure you register today ;) Because you never know in what (emergency) situation you might find yourself in, especially when you are overseas.
As you know Twitter supports SMS updates from your mobile phone internationally. After you have registered, don’t forget to verify your mobile number. Also don’t forget to add your Twitter account to your mobile’s addressbook (for easy SMS). An of course, you should inform your friends about your Twitter account. Otherwise, rescue mission might take considerable time ;)
Keep an eye on my twitter from time to time too ;) Especially when my blog goes un-updated for a long time. (God forbid).
