Traditional news operated on a 24-hour cycle. Blogs shortened this to minutes and hours. Twitter shortens it further to seconds. It’s not right for every piece of information. But when it comes to instantly assembling raw data from several sources that then go into fully baked news stories, nothing beats it.

Quote of the Day — Tweet140
@blogan You tweet like a duck. You’re just laying an egg with your 82 avg and 0 twooshes. Your quacking doesn’t even sound like real tweets.
Tweet140Tweet140 is awesome! It does absolutely nothing useful, but it does so with real panache. ;-)
Clutter Begone
Blogan.net was looking cluttered so I made a few changes:
- No more ads. The money I was making (not much) wasn’t worth the visual distraction. They’ll probably come back later, but they’re gone for now.
- No more Snap Shots preview. Josh Bancroft gave me a week before I tired of them. it took about four. Guess I’m slow…
- No more little icons under the post titles. Even the text information is simplified.
- I flitted between two and three columns, but with all this other junk gone, I’m down to two. I don’t have anything to put in the third column.
- No more daily Twitter digests. If you want to follow my tweets, join Twitter and follow me there. For now, I’ll display my latest tweet on the top of my sidebar.
Those who follow my blog using its feeds will probably notice only the last change. Those who visit should also see faster loading.

Twitter on Snitter
I just started using Snitter for Twitter. Looks great, seems to work well, AIR-based, and has link-smallification built in.
Sorry, boss…
Sorry, boss, but I won’t be coming in to work today. I’ll be home “upgrading.”
Yeah, that’s it…
