Okay, I hate "microblogging" since I view it as a form of electronic trivial pursuit, which is anathema to any real learning or knowledge, unlike .. erm, blog writing.
Okay, you can all stop laughing out there (yes, I can hear you!) since I set up my very own twitter account, which means you all can communicate with each other and with me using your iPhone, or you can text me (and each other, of course!) using your mobile phone or whatever else you drag around with you from one wifi source to another. (Personally, I use my laptop, a gorgeous new MacBookPro, but it is rather large and heavy compared to an iPhone, which I do not own, boo!).
Anyway, who knows where this new technology will lead us? Won't it be fun to be on the cutting edge, helping to develop both the culture and the applicability of this new technology? Already, I know a bunch of people who use Twitter while birding, what else can we develop it for?

Welcome to the Twitterverse! I'm glad to see I'm not the only one seduced by Twitter.
