For now, if you want, you can also interconnect both microblogging (Twitter.com) and blogging by having your blog posts also posted on Twitter. Most people use 'TweetDeck' software and love it.<BR/><BR/>One of the reasons I recently archived the past five years of my little software blog was that I am not active enough. I follow some very smart people online, but I rarely have the access or knowledge they have on any given (tech) topic.<BR/><BR/>However, twitter has opened up a more immediate need, since you see in real-time what's going on in others' lives and they will point you toward news and stories you either don't have time to find on your own or you didn't know about. Another reason I like it is that others' twitter posts can spark a blog post idea. The other thing I like about Twitter is that YOU decide whom to follow, meaning there's no spam and there doesn't have to be any of the noise you find with other social sites. If someone twitters their morning coffee, their ear wax, their going to the mailbox, etc., you can simple stop following them, leaving only interesting folks.<BR/><BR/>Google, who owns Blogger, will probably buy Twitter later this year and improve it by integrating it. Look what they've done with Gmail: the options are pretty fantastic these days.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20692956.post-89837003659282094382009-03-07T19:38:00.000-06:002009-03-07T19:38:00.000-06:00I hope you continue writing about all your good ea...I hope you continue writing about all your good eats! I'm jealous, cause I now live where there aren't many good places to eat. At the local bagel place, I asked if they had lox and they didn't even know what I was talking about!! I drooled over your stilton soup, but I can't even hope to find the the cheese around here! And don't even get me started about pastrami! So I enjoy good food vicariously thru your blog.<BR/><BR/>I'll sure miss you if you stop blogging!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
