Book Commercials & Misanthropic Observations

Pat Stream: Prognosticator extraordinaire

A few weeks ago, Pat told me about a concept called “micro-posting”. He used twitter as an example. At the time I thought, well, what’s the big deal? just write a mini-post on your blog.

But there’s something about twitter and face book profile updates that make it right and fun to leave a 1 sentence update on yourself. It’s not creepy and schizophrenic to refer to yourself in the 3rd person on face book, since the status updater always adds your name at the beginning. I really enjoy the immediate mundane nature of the updates; they feel more intimate to me somehow.

Pat may not understand Coldplay, but he’s got his finger on the pulse of the future.

PS- for those who don’t know what microposting is, I have added our facebook status feeds to our homepage, dopkins.net
