Twitter.com

Okay ... so I am on this discussion group called Great Gear, which is a discussion group of artists and t-shirt entrepreneurs (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/GreatGear) and they are all ... uhm ... "a-twitter" about this new site called (wait for it) ... Twitter.com. They say Google really loves it. Everyone should "twitter" because it will drive traffic to your site. It's the latest thing in social networking. It's like a blog, but you can only post one sentence at a time. Sort of like a "text message diary" for voyeurs who want to peep into each other's lives. It's an answer to the old question, "Do you know where your children are?" ... well if they Twitter, it's not hard to find out.

Okay, all that's great, except for the life of me I can't understand why anyone would want to know that right now I am playing Kameo for the 800th time and watching my cat sleep. Still, the more I poked around Twitter and argued with the Great Gearians about how silly I thought this idea was, the more it began to appeal to me. Except I don't think I'll "tweet" about my personal life so much. I am going to find cool quotes, think up inspirational things to say, and post links to my latest creations in Twitter: http://twitter.com/bjasmine. I have added a Twitter box here to the blog as well, so you can check on my "tweets" right here.

Drop by and tweat me :-)
