I’ve downloaded files, paid and free, until the most I’ve got to show for them is gigs of space used up on my hard drive. Some I’ve read, some I started to read and then got distracted to the next ‘shiny coin’ and some never even got opened before I got distracted.

Do You Twitter?

If you have no idea what Twittering is, you probably are either new or you’ve been ignoring a lot going on. Twitter is a very popular microblogging site which allows you to post(tweet) 140 character ‘slices’ of what your doing as often as you want. You follow other people who are twittering and people follow you. You can post about the mundane, the insane, the ups and the downs, the pain and the joy, whatever. The idea is to share and enjoy the interaction.
