Twits on Twitter 2

Hubris:

Social networks will become a fundamental way we communicate with our governments, businesses and loved ones, Twitter co-founder Evan Williams has told the BBC.

I can see it now:

    @Heartburn: Hamburger for lunch.

    @Notip: Lousy service at Joe’s bar and grill.

    @Takeaction: Support HR2789.

    @3rdFloorScottDorm: Who wanna part-tay! Hot chicks cold brewskis wanted!!!

Lord help us.

    It’s been how long since you’ve been in college? That last one sounds too real.

    Since I have an Android with Google Maps, I can check Google Buzzes on Google Maps, which I sometimes do when I’m really bored (an experience that kept me from Google Buzzing myself).

    That’s a paraphrase of a Buzz I saw last week, somewhat cleaned up, from a local campus.

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
