Michael Palin: a wholesome, religious man.

According to Twitter and Facebook, lots of people hate this founding member of Monty Python. C’mon, gang, give him a break!

I’ve resisted the lure of Twitter for a while now. For the unfamiliar, Twitter is a web toy that allows the user to post short, frequent text updates to a public timeline. It can keep you in touch with friends and family, or it can add an “up-to-the-minute” news badge to a blog. It was the latter that ultimately won me over. Often I’ll have ideas or nuggets of news that do not warrant their own threads. Now I have a way to purge those little gems and give the site some perpetual and timely content.

My Twitter URL is http://twitter.com/JoshWay. There is also an RSS feed as well as the new badge in the upper left corner of the site. The Twitter badge has proven a bit buggy. If you don’t see anything in the “Josh Right Now” module, there are two likely explanations: 1) you need to upgrade to Flash 9, or 2) the badge is acting screwy. Let me know if there are any issues.

Also let me know if you yourself Twitter so I can add you to my friends list. If enough of us hop in, I can set up some kind of friends timeline here on the site.
