Twitter this

I've talked to a lot of people who are lukewarm about Twitter. It remains to be seen, once I use it for awhile, whether or not I'll like it much, I suppose. But it was actually pretty easy for me to remain open-minded about Twitter despite so many people being a-twitter with bad buzz because I heard an NPR segment this May that briefly described the technology, and described some more colorful ways of using it. For instance, Twitter holds enough characters for Twitter haiku!

Also, I just noticed on one of my favorite websites, Parent Hacks, that some beleaguered parents are using Twitter in lieu of blogs-- or even baby books-- to document the milestones and minutiae of babyhood. You can Twitter one-handed!
