So, WHS aside, I generally like to be one of the last people to get into certain technologies. Mobile phones? Got one when work forced me to get one. Standard issue Office Crackberry? Sits on the sideboard switched off. Facebook? Don’t even.
Generally, I don’t have the time to play with a lot of the prevalent microblogging technologies that are around – and I question whether people are really that interested in what I’m up to outside of writing WGS (I’m writing this on the train home from work, if you must know), but I have this nagging feeling that the site may just need a Twitter feed, for the social networking junkies out there, and those who really do need the news first.
I’ve found a nice Vista sidebar gadget that allows me to update Twitter quickly and I’ll take a look at hooking up the site’s RSS feed to Twitter too, so if you’re a Twitter user, then you can follow me/the site over at http://twitter.com/wegotserved
There you’ll find you’ll pick up the behind the scenes story at WGS, including first site of some of the news snippets that will be hitting the site in the next day or so. The first snippet is up on Twitter now, which won’t hit the site for a few hours.
Yep, I know I’m last there.

Twitter is pretty odd, I think. On the one hand, it seems too vacuous to have much value, yet it does attract attention and does play a role in social networking.

What gadget are you using for the Vista Sidebar?
(can you provide a link, please?)
