No, I’m not asking if you’re a bird – I’m asking if you tweet!

Though I had found Twitter (http://www.twitter.com) a number of months back (more than a year ago if I recall correctly) I never really saw a lot of need for it.  I still don’t see a “lot” of need for it, but it does seem like an interesting technology that may be useful.

I’m going to start trying to tweet (post a status on Twitter) and since I’ve found a new application called “TweetDeck” (http://www.tweetdeck.com/beta/) I may actually try to stay up with it for a while.

Twitter lets you post a quick status of what you’re doing, what you’re thinking, where you’re headed, etc – and allows folks to follow you.  It’s sort of like a grown-up version of Facebook – allow you to follow friends without all of the “If you were a dog, what breed would you be” silliness.

I’ll start posting a short verse or reference from my daily reading when something strikes me as significantly appropriate to anyone who may be following me.  If you’re on Twitter, look me up.  You can find me either at http://twitter.com/tom_tracey Start following me and let’s see where we wind up.

Stay tuned – more to come…
