As you may be able to tell from the big blue thing at right, we’ve joined Twitter. We were reluctant at first — we weren’t really too sure what Twitter was or how we might use it — but we like it more than we expected thus far. In case you haven’t heard, it’s “microblogging” — 140 words or less per post. We think we’ll be primarily linking to interesting articles and sales that we don’t have time to write a full post about.
We could also see this being a super helpful service if you have a variety of people to report to — husband, children, nannies, et cetera — you can send messages via cell phone or G-Chat. We also think it’d be fun to use while on a trip.
