Technology is a funny thing indeed, especially since it changes so amazingly fast that one seems to always struggle just to keep up with it. On occasion I jump on new things way ahead of time, just to exhaust my patience with them before they even take off. Examples at least for me included the whole .Net thing where I had a site almost completely developed with it while it was .Net was still in beta, only to abandon the whole effort simply because I got busy with other stuff. Several months later an almost exact replica by another skilled individual made a big splash on the web – the realization of “could have, should have, would have” is always a frustrating one. Then, there are technologies which I just seem to ignore, and then get blindsided by them as they get amazingly popular. Case in point is twitter. By now, just about any TV show seems to have incorporated twitter, from sitcoms to CNN and beyond. Actually, the fact the TV networks always try to incorporate the latest web technology/tools is funny in itself: can anyone actually think of an instance where this worked out without actually being overly cheesy? Ok, using text messages to vote is probably the only one, but then again calling into shows to vote on stuff has been done for ages. It seems that bridging the passive and active mediums in style is a rather difficult task.

Anyhow, I digress. The real point is that I finally got around to using Twitter and law and behold, I actually like it. Honestly, it is really not that much different than aggregating RSS feeds in real - time in my opinion, with the major difference that the publishers don’t need to have any clue about RSS, and can do it from anywhere anytime. The magic of making things simple – it simply never fails. Anyhow, the overall point being here that if you are so inclined, you can now find out what I’m up to as well as updates from bajkowski.com and chipcrunch.com at twitter.com/bajkowski - enjoy.
