For a while I think I'll try summarizing a few of my favourite moments from Twitter.
So far I have made 72 posts, which is pretty prolific. As I will note below, that's likely to change (ie. remember the last time I had 50+ blogposts in a month?) So here are a few of my favourite "tweets":
Apparently I have had a Twitter account for the last 6 months and nobody has told me.

Sonic 102.9 had exactly 780 followers for a radio station in the 780 area code. Well, until I started following them. Sorry guys.

The #Offspring are coming to Edmonton:Hall D at Northlands. That's where I saw them a decade ago. Wonder if my date will flash 'em again...

I have a feeling Twitter is a lot like those cute Brazillian twins: I'll have lots of fun my first night, then ignore it for months on end.

First line=lime on my cellphone, and now I do the classic misspelling of "night". M$ should make a grammar-check for Tweets

Sonic1029: "Check out LiannCameron with some Sea Lions, a snake, a penguin and a giant sea turtle!" Hell, I dream of it nightly!

Olivia Chow sez "free speech is a cornerstone of democracy" so I expect her to start helping Rev.Boissoin win back his right to free speech

CBC radio just called a 21 month old baby "it". Half expected them to say fetus.

I don't so much mind being the smartest person in a room anymore. I do wish it wasn't such a huge dropoff to second place.

I have a sort of unofficial policy I'm aiming for: I want to have at least twice as many people I am following compared to the number of people following me. Currently with 53 following and 27 followers I am doing awfully well.
It's hard to decide who to add at this point: already prolific tweeters are "hiding" updates even if I check every hour. I would love to be keeping an eye on 400-600 people, but its a careful game. (For example, I don't add The_Real_Shaq because he tweets about 53 times an hour all day every day. Instead I am follow The_Real Britney Spears who tweets every day or two. More on this as it develops.
