The Future of Freelancing

An ode to Twitter

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.

    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.
