See, I first read this as “underwear volcano.” It really changes the meaning and the mental image, doesn’t it?

Staining the seas
Twitter may save your life
Jim can deny it all he likes but Twitter is a tool and can be used for extraordinary good. It has even saved a life from terrorists. Jim noted this story but the irony seemed to have been missed.
Come to the light my friend, spread your wings and tweet!
If he won’t go to twitter let’s bring twitter to Jim!
Jeremy has an excellent idea.
Tweet straight from Jim West’s blog
I already wrote about this over the weekend, but now I’m just having too much fun with it. Jim wrote another anti-twitter post this morning. So, I went over and tweeted his post directly from his own blog. I think it would be extraordinarily funny for everyone to go over and tweet the post to see how many tweets we could get for Jim’s anti-twitter blog post directly from his own blog. In fact, Twitter is so seamlessly integrated into Jim’s blog that you don’t even have to tweet his post. You can click Tweet then erase the URL and post title and just do all of your regular tweets straight from Zwinglius Redivivus.
Jim West twitters
Well, not literally of course. You will not find a twitter account for the Zwingli hagiographer. But in making a parenthetical comment about the usefulness of twitter for sharing useful articles and information between colleagues it occurred to me that many of Jim’s posts likely fall within the 140 character limit and often function in the same manner as twitter. Quick, short notices about his feelings, views, grumblings with an accompanying link. In the last two weeks it appears that Jim has had close to 350 blog posts!
Now to each their own, but I prefer to use twitter for the short burst and the blog for longer, hopefully thought-out posts. Jim clearly prefers to keep all of his pearls of wisdom in one central location. His choice, of course, but Jim if you want it @drjimwest is still available! Just drop me a note for the account.
XIANITY: Twitter to follow
I have no idea who is behind the twitter account “XIANITY” but for those on the twitter it is well worth following. A sampling is in the image below.
