A New Revolution
I’m stunned. This is the best technology ever!
I completely stumbled across this new program the other day, which puts SMS (text messaging) on freakin’ steriods. It’s called Twitter. It’s awesome enough on it’s own, if you’re into that sort of thing, and how I stumbled on it was that it was utilized for extending another program that I had stumbled on (Launchy).
Basically Twitter is a way to bulk SMS (or email) your friends (and others who are following you). You update, it sends it out- via email or SMS (or none), depending on the follower’s preference. And then ppl can reply, too. It also allows you to message privately. Coolness.
So I’m checking it out and as if that weren’t enough, I see that there is a plug-in for the blogging software I use on this here site. I install it easy-as-pie, and whoa! There’s all my “tweets”! All the text messages I have sent to (/through) Twitter! Showing up as blog posts!
WHOA.
I mean, this is especially fabulous because I never did get the “post via email” thing working right. And now I don’t even have to worry about opening up any programs, getting to the computer, or anything of the sort! I just pick up my new (to me a few months ago) little Treo I got, with it’s little Qwerty keyboard, and can blog whenever! Wherever! Don’t have to remember anything for later, don’t have to log in, or do anything besides speak my mind.
Get ready to check in with me a little more regularly
Oh, yeah.
