Hey readers,
So, I recently joined the social networking phenomenon "twitter" and maybe I was a little late for the bandwagon, or my writing doesn't really translate well to the 140 character nugget format that they impose over there, because it hasn't really taken.
Question: How many people are following you on Twitter?
Answer: 39.
Question: Isn't that kinda embarrassing for somebody who is trying to cultivate an internet personality?
Answer: Most definitely.
I haven't felt like this much of a social outcast since my Freshman year of high school, so if you want to help make sure that I won't have to hang out in the library playing Magic with the weird kids and foreign exchange students (author's note: we're still sticking with the high school analogy here) why don't you give me an add on the twitter.
Thanks guys!

Ben, you know that I would love to help you out on this one, but I simply cannot do Twitter. The reason I tell everybody who asks (no one) is that I couldn't possibly limit myself to 140 characters. I fart 140 characters. I can't imagine the effect such a ridiculous limitation would have on my obviously beautiful prose.

currently, i follow two cats, who have a cat door hooked up to a camera and a computer. I bet they have more followers than you.

Ben - I do happen to be on Twitter and I am currently following you (that sounded weird). I find those 140 characters fascinating. It forces me to write arbitrary things in the least amount of characters possible. Plus it provides extra typing practice.

Our friendship must have a line drawn in the sand somewhere. That place is at Twitter.

Hi Dave Murray here, I found this little gem and thought this might be right up your street, it shows you the tools, and how to use them, and tools are free.
