This digital life*

I signed up for Twitter today and added the app to my blog, which you can see in the top left hand corner. I then added the Twitter application to Facebook and Plaxo and registered my phone for SMS updates. I sent a few ‘tweets’ (a slightly cringe worthy term) out and added some contacts that I know, and know of, as people that I will follow. The ‘know ofs’ included Robert Scoble and Steve Rubel. I downloaded twhril – a Twitter desktop client. I added my LinkedIn profile to my Twitter account and synced Facebook and LinkedIn with Plaxo. I sent my first mobile tweet from Mansions Hotel in Kings Cross while I ate my tea. It was the poker night. I had mushroom sauce. I tried to add a Google Map to this post – doesn’t seem to be working. I learnt about tinyURL.

I watched a bit of TV and saw Richard Branson talking about the environment. He said that all Virgin Atlantic profits for the next ten years would be invested in research into clean fuels. I did a Google search but couldn’t find anything on this – did he just announce it? Surely not. Not on Australian TV!

Let save this and see if the Google Map worked…
