So I have stayed away from Twitter, until now.

For those of you that just went “What the hell is Twitter?”, here is your answer - Twitter is a social networking and micro-blogging service that allows its users to send and read other users’ updates (otherwise known as tweets), which are text-based posts of up to 140 characters in length.

I had never really seen the benefit of using Twitter, but a friend of mine told me about using it on the Iphone & then I saw how he had his Twitter connected to his blog & I thought “cool, maybe now I will actually post stuff on the blog at a normal rate”…….. notice I said maybe.

It is pretty interesting, you essentially post a couple sentences about what you are currently doing or thinking. Also you can do the same with pictures you just took.

I have it setup so my “real time” tweets (yes, I used the term tweets) will show up in the sidebar of this blog & then every night an actual blog post will be made from the summary of all the days “tweets”.

I figured with us going to Vegas next week, Twitter may be a neat way for me to send updates of what we are doing while we are there.

Hmmm??? I wonder what posting “tweets” when you are drunk will look like the next morning?
