Who's on board with the latest wacky social-media fad? I've been 'tweeting' as the kids say for the better part of the year, ostensibly to take advantage of linking people to new blog posts and such, but mostly because it's nice to have a readily accessible spot to toss out brief observations. The 140-character limit is ideal for efficiency: no need to get wrapped up in a big ol' LJ entry that sucks away my time when I should be writing books.
Some accounts I think are useful to follow:
SimonBob (hey, that's me!)
NaNoWriMo (this crazy thing where you try to write a novel in a month... oh, wait.)
Dr. Wicked (maker of Write Or Die, which incidentally has a new desktop version available)
3-Day Novel (the other crazy book-writing event I've participated in)
ByTowne and Mayfair Theatre (the best darn movies in the city)
Anyone else got an account or a recommendation to share?

Since they took away Facebook at the office, Twitter has been keeping me company!

I've been using
TwitterFoxEchofon (blugh, can't believe they changed the name.) It completely changed how I used Twitter -- it's a lot easier to have it on the corner of my browser than to have to log into the website all the time.Incidentally, I lied about the new version of Write Or Die at the party last night; it really does cost ten bucks. Looks like a worthwhile tenbux tho.

Also, http://twitter.com/dennis_jernberg/nanowrimo is the most complete cross-Nano list I've found, although I'm keeping an eye on the main topic to see if anything else pops up.

I'm using tweetdeck. It's ok. It's similar to Seemic Desktop in terms of panels and whatnot.

My nick there is FrenchStitcher.
I follow the #NaNoWriMo, #NaNo and #amwriting hashcodes.
I was thinking that we could create the #Ottawrimo to communicate amongst us.
I have added all of you on twitter.
