I mean, it's one thing to write a blog entry that is a little too personal, but imagine the extremes thiscould go to. Actually, Penny Arcade already did, bringing the term 'twitter shitter' into my mind, for which I will never forgive them. Also, it does kindof scare me. I mean, in this day and age of cell phones, texting and other instant forms of communication, it seems like one is obligated to stay plugged in. I can only imagine a mother calling her child, berating them for not updating their twitter, because they were SO WORRIED.

And you...Jsos: haha.<BR/><BR/>Jen: Thanks for the compliment! And you're right, I don't think there actually is a demand for ALL those sites... but everyone wants a piece of the dot com pie. It happened with search engines, it happened with social network sites, and now it's happening with microblogs. C'est la vie. <BR/><BR/>On another note, I sometimes think this blog would look better as a tumblr blog... But I don't want to lose all the traffic I've built up so far, and I like certain blogger features (esp. the "scheduled posts") that I'm not sure are available elsewhere.W. E. B.
