Heh, I keep thinking of joining Twitter, before I realize I don't talk much online, and don't have a huge list of online acquaintances that I can't correspond with any other way.
I've been playing D&D since January, though it's 4th Edition which is a lot more game-y than anything else. I've been enjoying it a lot, even if the campaign I'm in is mostly hack and slash.
We're playing 3.5, but I don't really know much about how it differs from 4th. Our campaign is equal parts story progression and battling, I'd say. Actually, this campaign is a continuation of another campaign, set roughly a century later in the same world/story. Our DM is very good at crafting an epic fantasy tale, with some amazing characters. The main villain, for instance, is this wonderfully complex (and ludicrously powerful) dragon obsessed with securing his own immortality/godhood through a nefarious scheme to sacrifice the lives of all the other dragons. There's actually a rather intricate backstory that explains the obsession really well

For me, the main thing that's holding me back from Twitter really, is lack of people I know who actually use it. I can count the people on one hand with fingers to spare, so it's something that could definitely change (and I agree about the barriers with blogging and chatting). Most of my online interaction for the moment is mostly confined to a single forum, and a handful of blogs, so it's not a huge deal for me at the moment.
The D&D campaign you're in sounds pretty awesome. Main differences between 3.5 and 4 is that the classes have been streamlined/balanced, and I'll admit, play sorta the same since they all mostly use the same system (at-will powers/encounter powers/daily), and they've made it so martial characters actually have stuff to do at higher levels. I enjoy it mainly because it is so game-y I suspect, but you can still get some RP out of it. Currently sorta running but not really a Fables (the comic) campaign that's interesting, but I still suck as a DM and don't have as much time to devote to it, as I'd like.
It is still very new. I was one of the first people among my social circle to hop onto it, so I've been the main instigator for getting people to sign up. I follow 68 different people at the moment, maybe a half-dozen of which I know and interact with IRL, then maybe another half-dozen I know through various internet places (including some people from the old IC and DPS forums).
I'm followed by 68 people currently, but that number fluctuates up and down a lot, depending on how many of them are spam bots. I leave my account public, but you can set it so only people you follow can also follow you.
How long have you been playing D&D? I joined my first campaign this summer as an elf wizard and have been having SO MUCH FUN.
