I just realized today that since I have been using Twitter, my desire to blog has gone down significantly. In case you didn't know, Twitter is basically a "micro-blog", where you can submit very short < 200 character posts of what you are doing at any given moment. Some of us, like Andre use it almost like an IM replacement for communication that doesn't need to be private...kind of akin to shouting across the room "Hey Andre, what's up with ____?". So basically, Twitter is pretty cool...but it effects my blog negatively because when I am thinking about something I just type a terse summary on Twitter and move on, instead of fully developing the concept in a blog post.

I think that I want to start blogging more actively...but to do so I need an interesting theme. More to come on that front!

For the longest time I thought Twitter was dead stupid. My first impression was "Why the hell do I care that Steve Smith (fictional name) just rented a video game at blockbuster?". I think before Twitter really exploded, the content on there was typically dumb because people didn't really know what to say. Twitter's power, IMHO, can be summed up in two main points:

• Connectivity. It works on your cell phone, IM and the web. Heck, there is even a nifty Adobe AIR application for it (tweetr).
