I haven't been posting much over here lately (with the exception of my daily automated Twitter posts) and when I was doing a little reading on enSue's blog, I noticed that you can now add other accounts of yours (like All Consuming, Flickr, Twitter, and Dopplr) to the sidebar. I'd been hoping that would be something that Vox added soon since TypePad added this option a while back and I just love displaying all of the other places you can find me online.
Go ahead and take a look at the sidebar, if you're so inclined, and see where else I'm located. Now if only they would add an option to list your Yelp account, it would be perfect!
Ever since I read about Twitter over on kottke, I've been slightly obsessed with it. I'm not sure why that is, but I'm having fun updating it with all the little stuff I do during the day.
I also finally managed to get short text messaging working on my phone, so now I'll be able to post on the go as well.
In addition to phone posting, I found a Firefox Search plug-in that allows you to post right from the Firefox search bar. Since the IM function is down and it can sometimes take a while for the Twitter site to come up (I can only imagine what their bandwidth is like right now), this is a good, quick way to get an update in.
Thanks to Marshall, I also found a little program that takes the URL of the webpage and creates a shorter URL using TinyURL. Then you can send this shortened URL and a description of the web page to Twitter. I haven't tried it out yet, but it looks pretty cool.
There's also Twittervision which is a real-time geographic visualization of posts sent to Twitter. It's pretty neat watching the posts pop up all over the world.
Also, if you find yourself confused by Twitter, there's a pretty good how-to here that should help you out.
