Re: When not talking about Twitter, what do you do in life?

now would kayaking count if while waiting for the 3rd member of our group to finish getting his gear all together I and my buddy were talking about twitter... (even resulting in him pulling out his iphone to show his fav. twitter app)? I mean, 2 minutes later we were in the water actually kayaking (although my friend would have brought along the phone if they ever start offering completely water-proof versions of it)....... :)
I usually twitter when i'm waiting for something to render/upload/finish cooking... i.e. bored.
So short answer to your question is: Everything.
A better question in my case would be: what are you doing while twittering... although i wouldn't ask that on a post because although i know people use their phones two twitter while on the can... i really just don't need to know that...

Great article, you'd be surprised how many people absolutely butcher #4 and then wonder why the only people following them on services like twitter are spam-bots!

Cheers,

Re: Reader Poll: Best Blog Analytics Software

Clicky keeps getting better with every update... it's one of the few analytics packages that automatically (by default) partitions out links from social media/bookmarking sources. Not only that but just about everything in the analytics package can be pulled out via an RSS feed.
