Folks,
Very quiet today . Spent some of the day making present for the kids. .. spent a bit of it snowshoing with Diane.. and a bit of shopping. In classic beginning of vacation form, I’ve got some sort of respitory bug. nothign bad.. but it always seems to happen when I try to relax
One other thing I’ve done today is try to figure out a new micro-blogging tool .. It’s called Twitter. I’ve been meaning to try it for some time. Diane and I heard a mention of it on the radio on our drive this weekend.. so I figured.. now is the time. The basic idea of twitter is sort of like blogging… except you do it throughout the day. Like when you’re driving you use your phone to send a short (<160 character) SMS post.. or a 'tweet' in twitter-speak... that says " i'm driving" .. when you're about to take a shower.. you say "I'm about to take a shower".. etc. Each time you do that, it posts your 'tweet' on a website.. The weird/cool thing is that then folks can subscribe to your twitter feed.. so... every time you say.."I'm brushing my teeth".. anyone who follows your posts knows about it.. How strange is that ? Here’s what it looks like: ..
I just figured out why it my be interesting in a voyeuristic way.. There are buttons on the Twitter site which allow you to follow people’s twitter that you know.. but there’s also one that allows you to follow what everyone is saying.. all at once.. It’s all nonsense.. but I think I’m hooked !
Here’s what it looked like a few secs ago…
