Kind of like a minute by minute blog thing.  For the longest time I thought it had something to do with This Week In Tech (TWiT) since Leo always talked about it.

He annoys me with that crap.  I like his podcast, but it has become a Twitter commercial as of late.

AV:  Think of Facebook status updates that can be sent via SMS.

Sounds like pure shit. At least FB garbage is automatically generated.

The new millenium sucks.

It's basically a microblog.  I used to use it to do updates to my blog from my cell phone.  It's good for that sort of thing, but used as a mass-IMer, as it tends to be used, is just dumb.

i don't think i, as a consumer, could handle knowing the intimate insane minutae of someone's internal monologue made external. scanning that veronica belmont blog made me want to kill myself!
