I’m surprisingly taken by Twitter. When I saw it mentioned on Heather’s site I had a look and, frankly, thought that it’s just a wee bit odd to post little snippets of your life out into the world. However, now there’s a corps of friends and acquaintances in the Twitterverse I suddenly see that it’s, actually, very cool.

The dynamic is interesting, it ebbs and flows; it breaks into conversation and then into fragmentary observation; it rises and sets with the day and follows the sun around the Earth; it waxes lyrical and staccato – but I’m getting carried away.

The immediacy strikes me – Jeremy posted a journal at Adactio, mentioned it on Twitter and suddenly the Twitterati chimed in with comment. Fantastic. On the other hand you can go amble through conversations past and explore the zeitgeist in your own zeit.
