Twitterific!
I started Twittering last weekend in response to Leo Laporte offering any follower of he and John C Dvorak a chance at winning The Ultimate Gaming Machine. Seeing as this computer could easily top $5,000 (USD), I didn’t want to pass up the opportunity.
It didn’t take me long to figure out that I wasn’t too big on the web UI for Twitter. I noticed that a couple of the people that I followed used a program called twhirl. I gave it a try and really liked it. I also discovered FriendFeed, which is basically a way to aggregate all of your online personas that are stored within online services like Twitter, flickr, FaceBook, del.icio.us, YouTube, Amazon.com wish lists, and even blog feeds published in either RSS or ATOM. The cool thing is that I can watch both Twitter and FriendFeed through twhirl.
I have decided to integrate these services, to one extent or another, into this site. If you notice, in the sidebar (at least on the main page), I have my newest tweets listed. I am going to leave my tweets separate from my actual blog content. I have also placed a link to my FriendFeed at the top of the page.
Hope you have fun getting to look at little more at what is going on in my head.
