Twitter?
As you can see from the date of my last post I have been on another planet for awhile. More on that in a future post. Having returned to earth I have discovered this thing called Twitter where you can create a text message of no more than 140 characters and then send it out to a few or a million recipients. Today I read a post at Deliberations (the post was old - I have a lot of catching up to do) that reporters are sending "tweets" from the court room giving blow by blow reportage on jury trials. Even the Spokesman Review in Spokane is into the act. For those who like to watch jury trials this will be like listening to a baseball game on the radio - well almost.
Twitter is useful so you will not re-type and resend one long single message every time.
