Have you come across Twitter - http://twitter.com. I expect some of the folks who read here will have done so!

Twitter is a "microblog" - a message of up to 140 characters that you can update as often as you like ... and that message is called a tweet. Boris Johnson, Barak Obama, Steven Fry all twit ... and have lots of followers. And Graham Ellis has just started to twit under the user name wellho and - err - doesn't actually have any followers yet.

It looks like one of the interesting things about Twitter is that you can read combined tweets from lots of different people - you can 'follow' and knwo what's going on with a lot of people all on the same page.

Will I have time to keep tweet'in as well as all the other things I do? Perhaps not, but I am experimenting with tweeting automatically from this blog - so that the subject lines will provide blog links and people can watch my blog purely on headlines, along with watching other twits (I suspect I'm not supposed to use that name!)

My userid is wellho and you can see my rudimentary page at http://twitter.com/wellho.
