Twitter is Useful.

I have been kind of skeptical of the whole twitter concept for a while.   I guess it is partly because I am working all the time and seldom find time to tweet my great ideals, finding it is better to flesh them out in  blog entry.  At the end of the day it is hard to go through my twitter account because of all the tweets.  That changed today and I finally get twitter.  Chelsea’ went to court in Baton Rouge and I could not make it, but one of my friends did, and he twittered the entire trial.  I have to admit, I have been checking my phone every 30 seconds and when Chelsea’s won, I jumped up and shouted.  I then explained to the law firm I was at, that I finally was unable to unlock all records in the Amicus Database and this made me very happy.

This was way more addictive then ebay but also, on the serious side, it was a great window to the general public on how the legal system worked.
