If you’re the type who loves audio books and short stories, make sure you selectively share your iTunes library. The first few I bumped into below were fine, it was the last one which made me blush!

Short stories hey?

Twittering and facebook

In an attempt to get this site fired up again, I thought I’d post something about this twitter stuff I’ve started using. As usual, it’s been around for a while now but I’ve just gotten onto the bandwagon.

Twitter is kind of a micro-blog. Whilst blog posts tend to be a past description of events and somewhat wordy, a twitter is much more temporal, to the point and immediate. I’ve only got a few “followers” so far but am following 14 others. Haven’t yet had that light bulb moment, so am still unsure on how this will eventually be useful for me.

I have discovered that it’s becoming difficult to keep all my bits and pieces up to date. Between twitter, facebook and this blog, it quickly became overwhelming. So, with a few plugins and rss magic, here’s where I’m at now …

Twitterific

This is the desktop (Mac / Windows) tool I use to keep up to date with other people’s twits and to submit my own into the ether. It saves me from having to go to the twitter website to keep up to date.

Facebook – TwitterSync

This is the facebook app I use to automagically turn my twitter updates into facebook status updates.

Wordpress – Twitter Updater

This wordpress plugin automagically sends a twitter message whenever I make a new blog post. TwitterSync from facebook picks it up and then everything knows about my new profound posting.
