According to Jason Kottke: “Twitter is the first thing on the web that I’ve been excited about in ages. Like years. The last thing was probably Flickr.” That’s some high and intriguing praise (considering how much I got swept up with flickr). I thought I’d give it a try, hence the new sidebar plug-in. If you’d like to connect with me, my address is simply twitter.com/javajive. If you’re on a Mac, try out Twitterific. Obviously it’s too early to haveRead more
