Don’t Have Time To Blog? Love to text? Twitter.

Posted on | January 21, 2008 |

Micro-blog with Twitter from your cell phone.

Yes, if you can text from your mobile phone, you can blog and let everyone know what’s going on with you or fill your peeps in on funny things you overhear or see as you move about your day.

Twitter is a free widget you can place on your social networking site (like MySpace, Facebook, etc.) or your blog.  It’s sort of I guess, mobile blogging.  Like, when my nephew saw a man walking in Times Square with a cat on his head, he could’ve texted ”just passed a man with a cat on his head that cursed us.”

I would have LOVED it!

You sign up at the Twitter site and you can immediately type in your updates from your home page, or activate your cell phone number and Twitter from it.  There is even a third option of sending your updates via your instant messenger through LiveJournal, GTalk, and Jabber. 

(I’m thinking this would be a great thing for pregnant or women expecting. That way, the hubby could text in the updates and everyone that subscribes can get their updates on the go on their cell phones.)

I’m adding my twitter widget to this site (as well as my MySpace page) by simply cutting and pasting the code they provide.  Easy peasy. 

Now, I have to warn you. I don’t text a lot, so the updates will be random. But sometimes, I see things I just have to share.

And some things, I’m sure you might wish I didn’t-

…like when I discovered I went to a school Christmas party, talked to all the parents in the room, and the teacher, and discovered (only after getting into the car and checking my makeup) that I had a stray blush brush hair that had stuck to my chin thus making me looking like I had a big black wirey chin hair.

Niiiiiiice.

So have fun with it. You can sign up here.
