    Put Twitter on your web site. Ev's doing it. I'm doing it. You can do it with a shiny flash widget or simple bit of javascript if you want more control. Let your blog or myspace readers know what you're up to *right now* with Twitter. It's good stuff.

  • Have Your Quake And Twitter It Too

    Thursday, August 03, 2006

    Last night I felt an earthquake but my fiance didn't believe me. Within seconds my phone started twittering with reports from friends.
    "did anyone just feel that earthquake?"
    "Just felt that earthquake. No one else here did."
    "damn, i always miss the quakes"
    Aha! See? It was an earthquake and Twitter had my back. The quake was a light 4.4 centered somewhere in Sonoma county.
