A Quick Post - Twitter

I know you are all sick of me talking about Twitter, but I really do think it is awesome :) A few thoughts/examples on why I think it is cool...

- Kids Hockey Team - Some parents can't make it all the time to the games, so a nice parent (like me) tweets the goals, and then gives a score update after each period. The parents and grandparents that are at work or at home are able to keep up on how the games are going.

- Ashley's Birth - Many people were on the edge of their seats waiting for updates on the birth of our lovely daughter Ashley Marie, so I used Twitter to announce her birth to the world real-time. She was born at 8:22 AM, and I tweeted about 3 minutes later that it was a girl... I was able to continue with updates, and my followers were able to see pictures as soon as they were posted etc...

It is just a great way to share information in real-time, and people can "opt-in" to whether they care about what you have to share...
