Social web!

A still space, April, between the busy-ness of March and the beginning of summery things, like May bank holidays, and holiday breaks. Why do all the concerts always happen in March? And why, for that matter, does a new phenomenon like Twitter happen along, just when I've convinced myself, by joining Myspace, Musbook and Facebook, that in spite of having begun my life in the 1930's, I'm keeping up with the 21st century? It's great, this new century. I can promote myself on Myspace and Musbook, see a surprising number of my children and grandchildren on Facebook, but Twitter?? Is it a symptom of how fragmented our attention span has become? After all, a blog is a blog, you sit down and spend - or waste, according to your point of view - ten minutes putting something of your rather muddled self out there. But Twitter? - pass for now!
