You know, I really ought to update this more than once a week...

I just discovered a neat trick. You know that Seth Godin post yesterday about twitter search? Well it can also be used to look up someone else's replies. So next time somebody asks a question, instead of checking out every single one of her followers you can twittersearch "@[whoever]" and see what the answers were.

Ah, that's a good idea. I really need to get to critical mass with twitter. Seems like I just drop in once a week and then forget about it again.

@mike - yeah seriously. 80% of the reason I was telling you to save some resources for blogging was so I'd have a lazy way of keeping in touch once the class was over.

'ought' is a bad word - I don't like 'ought's. Either you choose to update the blog more than once a week or you choose not to. The power, choice and responsibility are yours! :)

I'm with James re: ought. If you mean it in the prudential sense, as in, this would be good to do, then fine. If you mean it in the normative sense, as in, I'm wrong for not doing it or some such thing, then please reevaluate. We like for you to pop in and give tidbits when you can - we don't like you to feel guilty about not writing.

How's that for a meta-comment. Anyways, I'm still messing with Twitter, but I have to be very careful about it or I'll get stuck there all day.
