Twitterific

I was just wondering if anyone else here uses Twitter. Since we're doing this whole stay connected through technology thing, I thought I'd bring everyone up to speed. Twitter is a micro-blogging service that lets you post "tweets" of less than 140 characters from the Web, IM, your phone, or desktop clients. You can also use it to receive SMS tweets to your phone from many bloggers and news sources, including the New York Times. It's huge among the hip, elite techsters--everyone started using it at SXSW this last year--but it doesn't seem like anyone I'm actually friends with is using it. Are y'all coastal types seeing this at all? Regardless, I say good for us for blogging together, but we might be behind the times. If nothing else, I suggest we post a badge to add twittering to the blog.

I've never heard of Twittering...I guess your techie friends are just cooler than we are. The NYT wrote an interesting article about it in April - they even reference SXSW.

At any rate, your wish is my command, and the blog will have a Twitter badge shortly.

Done! The twitter badge is on the right sidebar. What do you do now, Mr. Seiler? Either let us know via posting, or else I'll try to figure it out and post at the end of the day.
