GEB is such a good book.

Sadly, I can't find "Party Doll" by Mary Chapin Carpenter online...

but what is twitter exactly?
Sunday, January 11th, 2009 09:32 pm (UTC)
It's a sort of text-message chatting service - that's kinda how it started, actually. Each "tweet" is (normally) limited to 140 characters (which leaves 20 characters to spare in a typical text message) and within that bound it can contain anything. As you can see, I often use it to forward brief observations and links.
