Microblogging Your Day in 140 Character Installments
By 7D StaffOne could say I'm a microblogging addict.
Really.
It goes something like this.
I wake up in the morning and I post something pithy to my Twitter and then I jump over to Plurk and post something pithy there (all of this via my Crackberry, of course). In the background via magical internet forces, what I posted in Twitter lands in my Facebook "what am I doing now" status. And then, by the magical forces of FriendFeed, my Plurk ends up on my Facebook wall.
So, in a mere two 140 character posts people know things like: my daughter is being very slow today, that it's a beautiful fall morning in Vermont or that I'm a bit stressed about the economy and am thinking about putting money in my mattress.
Yes, I know it seems a bit odd. Why would anyone care? Why would I want to share that information with people I don't even know? Very good questions...
