Twitter

I was stapling the newspapers and I found this article - I thought "Hmm this is interesting" but it was quite long so I best not read it - maybe i'll remember to check it out later... and i did. (The other story I saw was about a carpet snake that ate a kitten! Included is an xray of the snake and a picture of it's bulging stomach, here.)

I don't think we looked at Twitter in Libray 2 but it's definitely a phenomenon that all the kids and tech savy old folks are using, so it's worth a look.

I just read the article and I will have to look into twitter further to get a grasp of what it's all about.
I d/loaded a plug-in for Firefox at home called tweetbar that shows the most recent tweets(sp?) that have been sent - it felt like I was perving in on other people's lives as none of the messages were meant for me and most of them made no sense to me.

I just added some RSS feeds from the SMH and 2 from the Beijing Olympics site and an Olympics countdown widget!- see to the right of this post.
