I blame Twitter

My blog posting habits have been pretty disappointing lately, I admit it. And I apologise.
In the last few weeks, I’ve been twittering a lot more. This is mostly because a number of old friends have started using Twitter. It’s great to be in regular contact with @tragle, @cecily and @duckykramp again. Newer, London-based friends like @wheelyweb and @raettig have also turned up recently. And of course, @mvancamp (aka mambrino), who’s been on there longer than anyone. It’s also great for keeping up on various bits of tech and political news.
So after trying twitter and deciding it wasn’t all that. I’ve come back. And I’m loving it.
When I get a free moment, I’m going to redesign the blog so that my tweets are fed through my rss feeds and displayed on the blog. In the meantime, you could always join twitter (or come back) and follow me.

I don’t get twitter. You just post and say what you are up to at that moment???

@Ingrid Yeah, but it also has a basic facility to let you reply to someone. Kind of like I’m replying to your comment here, but you’d be more likely to see it. So it allows you to have quick conversations.
I think Twitter probably works best for those of us who are sat in front of a computer all day.
It will send text messages to your phone, and you can reply by text. In the UK, there is a charge for each text you send (or was several months ago). I’m not sure if this is the case in the US.
I suspect it’s even easier to keep track of for those lucky(?) souls who have iPhones.
