Qui Cantos Ipsos Cantori?

The Bluebird of Chattiness?

It's official: I am apparently a band-wagoneer, now having signed up for a Twitter account, @WinexpertTim.

If, like me fifteen minutes ago, you're not sure what Twitter actually is, it's like a blog for people with really bad ADD. You get a couple of lines to tell people what you're doing at the moment (moping, body functions, surgery, etc) or thinking at that point (where's my waitress, what's that thingy that hangs down in the back of your throat called, I think I'll paint the ceiling beige) or important status updates (I'm working! I'm flying! I'm gassy!). You input your line, and folks who've signed up to be notified of your every thought get a little message on their phone or inbox.

Why Twitter? Well, they describe themselves as 'a hypnotic ongoing social experiment'. Others describe them as an addiction to "constant self-affirmation". Meh, it's just another way to blather about stuff, and all the cool kids are doing it.

So blethers it is! My blog will self-tweet now with every update (@winxpert) and I'll be twittering to see how it works out, for those who want to hang on my every word and action (ha ha ha!)

It's Friday, but a busy day: I have to finish my planning for Fiscal 2010 (I'm with Helmuth Karl Bernhard Graf von Moltke who said, "No battle plan survives contact with the enemy", but it's nice to have a plan) and there's this meeting I'm in right now . . . see you in Twitter.
