It's ... a running status bar? Don't I have gmail for that?
(Also, isn't that Maggie on the sample feed Maggie Mason, MightyGirl?)

Coincidentally, I just signed up for Twitter last week. I had lots of little random thoughts that I thought were funny, but they didn't merit a blog post or email. So I just Twitter them now, and they pop up on the sidebar of my blog.
For the hyper-connected type of people, I can see the allure of Twitter as a social utility. Some of my tech-savvy friends live their social lives by things like Twitter, with unplanned parties and meet-ups organized on the fly. For me, however, it's just a way to spout off some humor.

The one and only! I keep meaning to read her "No One Cares What You Had For Lunch" book.

Exactly, especially for things that aren't long enough for a blog post, but still need to be said.

I recently started an account and was really excited about it. A few days later, and I realize nobody I know actually uses it.
Also, Benvolio, do you have more than one blog? Because I'm not seeing... oh, wait. No, I found it. Never mind.

Yeah, my blog isn't very hard to find. Too many other people link to me and reference my Board name for it to be a secret. That's actually one of the major lessons of the Internet, I think: nothing you do online is REALLY anonymous. You can some of it from everyone, and you can hide all of it from people who don't know how to look. But given enough ingenuity, anyone can be exposed.

bismark/Yellow got me started while I was blog-fasting over Lent. But... I hardly ever update these days.

Are you implying that I am bismark? Because if so... I have the remarkable talent to be in two states at once.

Can you utilize that talent for your own benefit and the good of mankind, Yellow/bismark? Because I can think of some awesome things you could do.

For a while, I was blog crazy. I read anyone's and everyone's, so yours was one I'd been to before. I just hadn't visited it in a while, so I Googled the title, and a lot of random things came up. But yours was actually pretty close to the top.

Are you bismark?? If so, you still owe me curry.
