Thanks to the recommendation of some good friends this weekend, I’ve added Twitter to my list of preferred web applications.
Their sage advice couldn’t have come at a better time: I’ve been busy readying myself for Tales of the Cocktail in New Orleans next week, and have been concerned about how I’ll connect with everyone I want to meet while I’m down there.
In addition to blogging the event both here and on the Tales Blog, I will be posting regular Tweets from my cell phone for those who are following my feed via Twitter or Facebook.
For all you Twitter users out there who would like to follow me around Tales, the address of my Twitter profile is here:
Here’s to hopefully seeing some of you in New Orleans!
I should add that dopplr may be of more long term use someday…I’m still fiddling with some other sites but will spare you for now. Glad you’re up on Twitter, though.
Oh, and here’s my twitter profile:

Ugh, more technology? Wayland, I can’t keep up. But thank you anyway.
Jeffrey,
A bit behind, so just added you to twitter. Also, with a stroke of luck, I saw this message, “Twitter sucks. Also no pictures. How’s your morning?”
I’m actually using a service called BrightKite also, which is like Twitter only it has a location element to it and handles photos as well. With this it just so happens you can set it to update Twitter when you update BrightKite, with a nice link to the photo for photo posts. Right now, it’s by invitation only, but I have a few invites left if you’re interested.
No peer pressure, just thought I’d mention it.
Oh, the evil you have wrought from the bowels of Twitter hell…
Though I must admit, having the TPD as Jeffrey suggests will be quite nice.
Had been a twitter sceptic, when I opened my account last year, but now with more bar folks using it, it starts to make sense.
And it has already proved to be of value at events. So, see you at the tales:

Welp, there’s that Taggart Positioning Device I’ve been looking for…
Oh … I hate peer pressure. This is how I ended up smoking pot when I was a kid. (Fortunately I prefer cocktails now!)

Good to see you guys on there, I’ll be following your every move next week.
My mother always warned me about peer pressure.
It’s a freaking epidemic! I had the same idea a few nights ago…

I keep forgetting to add a widget to the front page of the site…oh, and actually tweet.
Good idea!
and, gleefully hitching onto your coattails…

I’m hoping to figure out its function before Tales.
