April 8th, 2007
Every time some new thing comes along that sweeps across the Internets, I always swear that I won’t get into it. I said the same thing about Twitter. Well, a couple nights ago, I succumbed and signed up.
For the uninitiated, Twitter is like a “hyper blogging” service. And while blogs can be used to provide timely information, Twitter is specifically designed to tell people what you’re doing right now. Twitter entries are limited to 140 characters, so it’s not the right platform for posting a 1,000-word diatribe on why “Mr. Belvedere” is the greatest sitcom of all time. But if you want people to know that you’re cooking dinner, it’s the perfect tool.
Really, the main reason I even signed up with Twitter was to add a little “supplemental blog” to Shawnogram. I’d like to update this site often, and if there’s ever a lag between posts, readers can check out the Twitter badge on the right-hand side of this page to see what’s going on.
And while I may have caved in when it comes to Twitter, I’m still not using Flickr. Not yet, anyway.
(If anyone reading this would like to add me to your Twitter friends, please feel free.)

That’s what we’ll work on next, getting you onto the Flickr!

You know, considering that, eventually I’m going to run out of server space for photos… I am considering it.

That is the great thing about Flickr, it’s a great place to store and share your photos.
