I recently destroyed what I believed was the sole copy of this site's primary stylesheet while making a minor change to support the Twitter sidebar that you'll now find on this site, so I should explain a bit about Twitter.
Twitter is one of the newer social networking sites, geared toward those who are so hopelessly plugged into the internet that they can't brush their teeth without blogging about the experience. Although I've assiduously avoided MySpace, Facebook, and all the other mainstream social networking cesspools, I'm a member of a number of lesser-known niche social networks, and I've been trying to hook them all into my sidebar here through the beauty of code.
Netflix has a kind of social network built in. You can see what movies your friends are renting, see how they've rated them, and recommend your favorites. And since they provide RSS feeds, I parsed the RSS and created a sidebar. Likewise, I tried to do the same with my Steam acccount, although it was much harder to parse the HTML in my steam page. It worked, but I decided not to add it.
Twitter provides a script to add your "tweets" to your site. And I have used it.
Twitter is microblogging. No more than 140 characters. The goal is to make it really easy and really brief. You can set up twitter to work with an instant messenger or mobile device, so that you can sit in a movie theater and send a text message to twitter: "Hey! I'm about to watch Iron Man!"
I've been using Twitter for about a week now, and it's a nice way to share tidbits with a few billion close personal friends when it's not quite enough to blog about. I'd never have blogged about accidentally shooting myself in the face with a can of whipped cream, but I Twittered it, and it was awesome.
So now you can view my Twitter entries (they're called "Tweets", but I don't know how I feel about that) in my sidebar. I will endeavor to tweet less about toothbrushing, and more about
