The Joys of Microblogging

We love the web.

After yet another drought of blog posts, I’m happy to say I’ve become a twitter convert at the behest of some of my new Apple team members. Twitter could be considered a “microblog” a place where you can send frequent, short updates that cover everything from getting a new job to finding a good bargain on orange juice.

Staring at a blank blog post is always a challenge I have a tendency not to post if I don’t have a major topic that I really want to dig into. What’s nice about Twitter is that basically anything is fair game to talk about, as you’re limited to 140 characters regardless of the topic. It’s a really fun way to keep people up to date with what’s going on, and I’m going to look at some Wordpress plugins to bring my tweets as they’re called onto the front page here at the ‘pod.

Happy twittering!

my whole team got hooked on twitter after using it to keep track of where we all were at SXSW. It was brilliant for that, but I also totally agree with what you’re saying here. Unfortunately, my blog has suffered, but it’s so low pressure…

Interesting. I’ve just hopped back on the bandwagon about a month or so ago. You should try out Snitter if you haven’t already. It’s a pretty nice app for twitting(if you will).

Careful. Those things are like drugs. First its Twitter, then Jaiku, then you move on to the harder stuff like Pownce. You don’t want to become the next Leo LaPorte!

You don’t really seem to blog or Twitter. And seriously, you’re so much more of a geek than I am that I can’t believe you aren’t pulling the RSS feed right now.

Just make that #373D41 section a bit taller and you’ve got a spot for it.

This is a pretty sweet design you have hear. I love the clean and simple design principle and am trying to pull it off myself. I think that the best designers are the ones who can create great designs with as little design as possible.
