I just added my Twitter updates to the blog’s sidebar. You can see them over on the right, just below the subscription buttons and above the ‘Recent Comments’. Then it dawned on me I should maybe explain what on earth this is.
Twitter is a kind of cross between a radically miniaturised blog and instant messaging.
The miniaturised blog part, because people post updates – ‘tweets’ – about what they’re doing, realising, contemplating, reading, bemused by, and so on. In my case this does tend to be Yi-related, which is why you’ll find me on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/i_ching.
The ‘instant messaging’ part, because you can mark your tweets as ‘at’ someone in particular. You’ll see these as clickable links that take you to the person’s twitter page like this: @yijingman. All the ‘@’s flying to and fro naturally bring you into contact with more and more interesting people.
And that’s pretty much it. Simple, straightforward, free and friendly. If you join, please visit my page and click the ‘follow’ button, and drop me an ‘@’ to say hello.
Some of those twittering twitters are definite weirdos, IMO. 😀
