Whale sightings on the decline
“As you can see, while you had approximately a 1-in-29 chance of hitting a whale nine days ago, you only had a 1-in-2000 chance yesterday. And this is with Twitter handling significantly more traffic and updates.

Yet another reason for using Twitter
Update: I changed the title after realizing I got carried away and that to most, easy access to famous people isn’t the #1 reason to use Twitter.
For a guy who is seriously thinking about leaving Twitter for greener pastures, this post doesn’t carry much weight. But I wanted a permanent record for my epiphany. Chalk one up for the archives.
With a little searching, Twitter provides easy access to famous people.
Here are some famous (or not) Twitterers that I follow or vice versa. Whether they read my tweet fodder has yet to be proven.
MC Hammer
Seth Godin
Robert Scoble
Sara Bareilles
Barack Obama
Hillary Clinton
Ryan Newman
Patrick Wilson
Guy Kawasaki
Stephen Colbert
Note: Some of these may be fake accounts. I have not verified any of them.

Send a different kind of update with Twitter
While searching through the Firefox Add-ons repository I came across a new Twitter tool called TwitterBar.
“TwitterBar allows you to post to Twitter from Firefox’s address bar. A small unobtrusive grey icon sits to the right of your address bar; clicking on it will post your tweet, and you can hover your mouse over it to see how many characters you have left.
After only a few seconds of use I found that not only can I tweet the usual 140 character message, but I can quickly tell my Twitter army of followers where I’m surfing on the Web. This will be exceptionally helpful in reducing my copy and paste time when trying to blast a cool, new URL.
Oh, you can follow my tweets here.

Passion Progresses to Skill
“I’ve never met anyone who loves what they do, but isn’t at all good at it. Passion naturally progresses to skill.

My Tweets Are Flying
I have made yet another change to my site. Now, my latest Twitter “tweet” will fly high above the content in the body of the site. This will give you a glimpse at what I’m doing, if you’re interested. No, this isn’t an April Fools joke.
