A life without Twitter
Twitter has been down all morning and I’ve got the shakes. How am I supposed to ask people about the Stephen Downes interview last night in WOW2.0? Who am I going to share Dimenxianwith until I have time to create a proper blog entry about it? What did D’arcy have for breakfast today?? What blog post is Bud reading?
Strangely enough, I really do miss those little interruptions and feel extremely disconnected with a great deal of friends and colleagues right now. Crazy how quickly a little piece of tech like that becomes a part of your life.
[UPDATE] Or maybe it was just me. Just got through, and it seems others had no problem. Twitter, why do you tease me so?
[UPDATE 2:46 5/16/07] Twitter is still sick. None of my tweets have gotten through. And I think that cat working on the server is laughing at me.

It’s not just you. I’ve had intermittent twitter for a couple of days now — it’s funny how quickly I’ve come to rely on it as my professional backchannel.
As for what I’ve been reading — well, I haven’t been reading too much. Been offline some. So you’re not missing too much of my action-packed tweets.

I don’t believe I’ve ever tweeted what I had for breakfast… chocolate cream Krispy Kreme with a Coke, if you must know
kidding. I usually skip breakfast.
I agree that Twitter has become an important part of how I feel connected to my distributed set of friends and contacts. It’s highly banal at first glance, but so is most casual conversation…
