I’m on Twitter

I signed up for a Twitter account. If you don’t know what Twitter is, it is the latest, greatest, social/Web 2.0 web application. The idea is to post what you are doing. You can add friends so you can see what your friends are doing. My username is bikeride. You can send or get updates from a mobile device or IM. I’d like to use the API to automatically update Twitter when I publish a blog post, create a new flickr photoset, bookmark something with del.icio.us, or share an item in google reader, or add a new training log entry. Maybe I’ll get to it.

    Twitter is addicting. I like it because every time I get an update from someone, I don’t have to respond, but I feel like I’ve been informed. Some people are calling it microblogging, but I like to think of it as one-minute media.

    Hope all is well at ESPN.com!
