Ah, you are so 2006ish, Gohm! Twitter is mini-blogging system that allows you to keep the world updated with latest minute-by-minute information about you.

I don't use twitter but its the hottest thing on the internet these days.

Biggie, the great thing about it is, that I have this firefox add-on called as TwitterFox, that sits on my firefox. So I do not need to go to that site. Whenever I open a window, I get all my twitter updates.

Wow, I've moved up to 2006?! I still miss overhead projectors, 8 track & Aplle IIc computers! laugh

Seriously though thanks for the info as I am not familiar with the whole blogging/Myspace/facebook thing.

Overhead projectors are the bomb! I feel that the powerpoint presentations with the new projectors are so ineffective in class. I always sleep! *yawns*

This twitter thing looks interesting! but, perhaps its too.. I dunno.. public? Do you really want friends to know what you are doing every minute?

Where do these people get the time to do these blogs & Myspace pages?! I am content chatting on here and a couple motorcycle/racing forums. Do blogs allow for as much interaction as a forum? I would think not, which is what I like about a forum. Also have to designate time for other hobbies (bikes/riding, music, etc) Friends I prefer phone or in-person. E-mail a little. Guess I am old, even though I'm only 36! lol That's what happens when you get stuck in '06!
