*Cricket-Sounds*

I have been so quiet because I’m biding my time.  (See countdown on the right, and previous post.)

So I decided to immerse myself in the whole Twitter phenomenon.  I’ve previously derided it, mocked it, mocked users of it, and displayed my potty mouth.  But I haven’t actually learned anything about it.  So, might as well dive in.  Now that it’s been a week, I’m kinda getting the idea of it.  My opinion?  It’s cool.  (Note: no exlamation point.  It’s just cool.)

After I signed up and just started clicking around, I realized it’s all just little SMS txts.  Then I got over the fact that it’s all about eavesdropping and just started to skim across the information.  I started to get a feel for the kind of information that goes into a tweet, short little pithy things, some snarky comments, sometimes useful stuff.

I’m following one of my favorite authors, 10 downing street, the white house, NASA, a couple of co-workers and friends, and I’m still slowly finding more.  And now the unknown peoples have started following me.  Do I really have anything that interesting to say?  Apparently so.

But the surest way to become a has-been is to close off to these new things, and just shoot yer mouth off.  I’m doing an about face and embracing the little blue bird.  I may even give ‘im a noogie.

I’m going to go back to watching the data go by, while puttering on workstuff.

Have fun, readers.

Skåll!!!
