i just joined twitter, too (and we’re already friended) but how did you find the cool people to follow on there? I had it search my gmail for matches, and that’s all i’ve done..

I’m SOOO tempted to join! I’ll have to wait until I can feel more current with my commited projects, which is why I’m not blogging right now. But I love getting these resources from you. I’ll be checking these out.

I’m glad you are on twitter! :)

Oh yeah twitter feed will pull your blog post into twitter after it’s published. Pretty cool!

i adore twitter. i think of it as a social “sixth sense”. :) but i’m not at all good about separating my personal/professional identities there, and sometimes i use it as a log of personal progress for persnickety projects or through periods of low motivation. so yeah, it depends on how well you really want to know someone. ;)

Thanks, Sara –

I’m using BeTwittered: http://www.32hours.com/betwitteredinfo/, which sounds a lot like Flock. It was easy to add to my personalized Google homepage, and makes it really easy to keep up on my Twitter-buddies.

If you like Twitter, you may want to check out these two complimentary applications (if you haven’t already):

Twitter Feeds: http://twitterfeeds.com/ You can integrate website that has an RSS feed into Twitter. So, I have our Sewer-Sewist blog, our personal blog, our Flickr feed and my facebook status all linked up to my Twitter account. (I was messing around with the possibilities of Twitter for work and did an experiment to link everything I used and sort of left it.) It compresses the links into tinyurls automatically.

Flock: http://flock.com/ It’s a firefox based web browser that integrates Twitter (and lots of other applications, too) right into your browser in a sidebar. I don’t know what I did before I found Flock. (In fairness, it’s not for everyone. Josh thinks that Flock’s “weird and distracting.”)
