I just added Twitter Tools to my wordpress plugin arsenal. All of the short posts are as a result of that addition, as well as the "What I’m Doing" in the upper sidebar. Twitter allows SMS posts (140 characters or less) to your blog, your Twitter account, your phone, your Twitter friend’s phones, your IM app of choice, etc. You can also update your "tweets" via all of those previously mentioned routes as well. It’s an excessively nerdy way to stay in touch or to deliver life platitudes from the safety of your own home. Maybe you could think of it as Instant Messaging to no one and everyone at the same time, with an archive, for all the world to see, for all time, or at least as long as Twitter stays around. Speaking of, look how far-reaching this nascent experience has already become - Twittervision - and now Twittervision in 3D.

This place could get even more ridiculous when and if I get an iPhone. Updates every second! One word poems! Haikus composed over days! Links to Flickr pics taken with said hoped-for phone! Musings on nc waterfront property! Even more randomly placed ads! Excessive and impulsive use of multiple exclamation points!!!

Twitter is to blogging what that ADD kid was to your high school science class.
