Twitter

I have yet to measure this with a stopwatch but I estimate that about 17 hours of my day are spent sitting in front of a computer screen. So it is only natural that I would be excited about a service like Twitter, where you can basically tell people what you are doing at any given moment by IM, text message or web. For the past couple of days I've been a little obsessed with the Public Timeline which is exciting in the same way the Blogger "recently updated" section was when there were only a few hundred users. I hear this is getting big out in places like SF and NYC, so I am going to make it my New Years resolution to become the undisputed Utah King of Twitter. Feel free to check it out, make me your Friend, and prepare yourself for a breathless string of messages along the lines of "Mark is mangling Javascript", "Mark is cursing Internet Explorer 6" and "Mark is googling computer+monitor+radiation+levels". You know you can't wait.
