Ok, so I’ve jumped on the bandwagon. I’ve been twittering for the past few days and I’m not sure why, but I love it.

My stream can be found here – http://twitter.com/delic8genius. Go on, be my friend.

I’ve also added a twitter badge to my sidebar.

I reckon twitter is cool for several reasons:

• It’s simple
• It’s a very cool way to capture stream of thought
• It’s awesomely social
• All the cool kids are doing it
• There a close to a bazillion ways to twitter
• And probably one the coolest things is that commenting on other peoples stream and posting to your own is integrated into the same process, therefore interacting with others is a seamless exercise – brilliant!!!

So, here is the dilemma. I love my moblog, it’s a great way to chronicle stuff and it’s visual. Problem is, I find myself wanting to post on both.

What to do?

• Keep them both? – double up on effort unnecessarily
• Ditch the moblog? – can’t see this happening
• Integrate them? – Pull out the ol’ PHP skills and integrate my twitter stream into my moblog

I love the social-ness of twitter and reckon it would be cool to have my moblog play in the same space but can’t figure out how to get the best of both worlds.

Thoughts?

I’ve just read that Dave Matthews Band has cancelled their appearance at the East Coast Blues & Roots Festival!!!!!

Now that sucks. DMB was the main reason we’re making the pilgrimage.

I hope they find a good last minute replacement for the Friday headline.
