A cautionary tale:
Of Twitter, beware.
Your free time it won’t spare.
All too soon, you won’t care
Of your life what you share -
And real work can’t compare.
Log on if you dare.

have you tried my sideproject, CitySpeek yet? Its twitter but with pics, YouTube video, categories, groups and can be used with IM.
i know what u mean. the more i twitter, the less blogs seem relevant. on the other hand, i need to write something in my blog to twitter about. it’s hard to fit it all into 140 characters.
@twitaddict Retweet’dya!
I find myself hitting “return” in email to send. It’s too slow!
Hi Jeff: Thanks for jumping off of Twitter long enough to check out WordCount. I visited CitySpeek last night as a matter of fact. Very nice!
Michelle Rafter
Agree. Ever since I started on Twitter writing blog posts has become harder

Many thanks!
