Tweety

Friday, February 20th, 2009

Ahh, in from the cold. Apparently the credit card on file at my hosting provider expired (oops), and it took a few months of procrastination before I gave them a new one and reactivated the site. Can’t always be on top of everything, it’s not healthy.

So while I had all this momentum, I also went ahead and set up my Twitter account (mzagorsek, if anyone’s reading this). I’d registered it a while back but never added any followers, so not surprisingly it wasn’t doing much for me. I did a bit of googling (”how to find friends to follow in Twitter” - felt a bit sad) and found some sites with idiotic names like Twubble and TwitterHolic that list the local equivalent of the cool kids that everyone watches.

Up until this point (and still, to some extent) I had a pretty curmudgeonly attitude towards Twitter, wondering how a glorified texting service could be of any use to anyone. But I’m a believer that if enough people are into something, there must be something to it. That’s how I got into single malt scotch, so why stop now?
