I'm a Twit...er...ing?

Since getting my iPhone it has given me easier access to socializing within the digital realm.  Facebook has become a standard, I am sad to say.  Not to the extent that some people I know use it...but an interesting place to keep in touch with friends around the world (my social network has become international since moving to Ireland), making it much more difficult to keep track of people, especially for someone not very good at keeping track of people.

My new social networking discovery, however, is a service called Twitter.  Facebook doesn't offer much in the way of accessibility for people who haven't sold their souls into the system (otherwise known as setting up an account).  Twitter, on the other hand, is not unlike this blog.  A micro version.  They actually call it micro-blogging, in fact.  The intent is to summarize what you are doing at the moment in 140 characters or less.  Some people are more than willing to let everyone know what's in their burrito or what time they have to get up in the morning, the boring fragments of what they are doing right then.  I tend to lean more towards what I think about what I'm doing right then, which is hopefully a bit more interesting.

The nice thing is, you don't have to sign up for anything to look at it. So, for those of you who just aren't satisfied by the frequency with which I post here on the blog, you can head over to my twitter page and see what's happening with me in between.

Be warned:  These short snippets tumbling from my brain that may or may not (more often) be charged with bountiful wisdom, may or may not be edited for the family reader.  So, if you are more concerned about being personally offended than seeing what movie I am currently watching, you may prefer to steer clear.
