All A-Twitter?
Well, if you are, the book for you just arrived in the library. Even though it is not shelved on the 9th floor, but the 4th, I am writing about it because of my interest in Twitter and microblogging. Twitter allows users to express their thoughts or update followers on their status in a succinct 140 characters. Links, photos and other media may also be shared. Twitter users follow other users, and are followed. My username is p9hcl, and my feed is to the right of the page, under the photo and Facebook badge.

Seeing the book reminded me of an Unshelved comic strip. Click to view full size on the Unshelved site.

Web 2.0 Life
My Second Life avatar, Ophelia Nikitin, looks as if she is not a morning person, hanging out in the Purl Tearoom drinking tea. Come to think of it, this is about like my first life, too. How about that t-shirt?
