Miscellaneous

I recently signed up with Twitter, under the handle minorwisdom. For the one out of a million unfamiliar with Twitter, it?s a micro-blogging service that allows you to write short posts and follow others? posts on one screen. Post are limited to 140 characters, so if you want to post links, you?ll want to use something like TinyURL.com. I like the idea of reading and writing on the same screen. I won?t promise that I?ll be worth following on Twitter, but I have no trouble recommending the other folks that I follow.

I?m also just now venturing into some social-networking web sites: Facebook (for friends and family) and LinkedIn (for professional contacts). Both appear promising. So far, Facebook has put me back in touch with a few dear friends from years past; that alone has made it worthwhile. No such results yet for LinkedIn, but then I just started a couple of days ago.
