Shame 2.0

What are you doing?

OK how many of you weaboos out there are “web 2.0″ enough to be on Twitter? If not, you should really give it a shot, especially the bloggers. It’s a pain in the ass to explain Twitter, but basically you talk about what you’re doing in 140 characters or less. They call it “micro-blogging,” and aside from being able to broadcast the most inane, banal minutiae of your boring-ass life, it’s great training for being a more efficient, clever-pants writer. I’ve used it in my “real” life for quite a while, but I thought I’d try an SOS account. So far it’s been great for getting out initial reactions to shows etc. etc. You may have noticed it in the sidebar a couple weeks ago, but I took it out because Twitter is notoriously slow and tends to hang the site.

So point your webernet browsing device to http://www.twitter.com/otakusecret and start following me for more prolific updates than I give on the blog. Or don’t. I’ll only be marginally offended.

    I use my Twitter account for my personal life mostly, and it’s unfortunately addicting.

    blissmo, Twitter is a pretty fun and addictive little piece of internet nonsense that people like me in the web world can’t live without, in spite of the fact that it does nothing ;)

    A site called Common Craft does a great series of videos explaining various internet things, like RSS or Flickr or Blogs, and they have a pretty good video about Twitter.
