In case anyone's interested, I'm currently fooling around with Twitter. If you're interested, I'm user-id MarkCC. Feel free to ping me if you've got an interesting twitter feed that you think would interest me; I'm still building up my list. Eventually, if I find it useful, I'll put a Twitter sidebar here on GM/BM.

Although people who know me can attest that I made countless assurances that I would never do such a thing, I have once again succumbed to the relentless force of progress, and I'm now on Twitter. Check me out. I'm actually finding it quite useful, and I'm currently using my feed to provide…
Just a quick reminder: the second Carnival of Mathematics is coming up this friday, to be hosted here at GM/BM. If you've written any math related articles, get me a link by thursday at the latest. You can either send it to me here at markcc at gmail.com, or via the carnival submission form.

This is a great way for your fans to follow you outside of this blog. Please start including links to the posts you mention in your Twitter feed itself (via TinyURL or similar). Thanks! :)
Be careful, it's addictive!
I have no intent to offend. Yet I must tell you that your paragraph is so full of jargon and assumptions that I can't work out what you're trying to tell us.
Clearly, I'm not a twitter user. Presumably, many of your readers are, but perhaps you could spell things out for those of us who aren't?
I looked up twitter about two months ago. I got the impression that its a site where we log in, and put a brief statement about what we're up to. We allow friends to see our twitter statements, and we can see theirs.
Maybe there's more to it that that, but it wasn't mentioned in the article where I looked it up.

What's an interesting twitter feed?
What's a twitter list?
What's a twitter sidebar?
