Twitter is a sort of micro-blogging / social networking tool that allows you to post short updates via the web, various desktop applications (such as twhirl, or SMS. The ease of use and accessibility makes it so much easier to keep your status a little more “current.” My Twitter username is gareth.

Del.icio.us is a bookmarking website, allowing you to store, tag, and share interesting websites with other users. The Firefox add-on makes adding new bookmarks a snap! My del.icio.us username is gareth_western.

Now the plugins I’ve added to this blog will post daily digest messages containing my tweets and bookmarks of the day! Originally I was thinking of doing something similar to hesam and removing the blog, however I’d still like to throw out a proper blog post every now and then. I may even get around to doing my own Wordpress theme one of these days!… or maybe not .

UPDATE: Ok, after a bit of thought I think I agree with this guy regarding posting tweet digests to a blog. I don’t really need to archive all that crap, and the fact that a lot of the tweets are only half the conversation is annoying. It’s like an IRC log of just yourself! So now I’ll just have my last 3 tweets in the sidebar, thereby decreasing my “new media douchebag” rating slightly.
