Microtext Syncing

I continue to enjoy the micro text world through my blog, twitter, and facebook. Micro text (blogs, text messaging, twitter, facebook, myspace,) is a powerful form of communication. Sometime in the last two years, I can't remember exactly when, the National Education Association released extensive survey results showing that for well over half the American population does 80% or more of their reading in microtext form. That means if it isn't micro text, Americans likely aren't reading it. That is a staggering finding. The average COLLEGE GRADUATE reads just one book from the time they walk the stage at college graduation until they die. One. Those who don't microtext will not reach our culture.

For some time now, I've had twitter synced to facebook so that whatever I tweet becomes my facebook status--those of you not familiar with twitter may wonder what the weird symbols are sometimes doing in my facebook status--that's twitter stuff.

And now I've also synced twitter to this blog so that whatever I tweet will also be in the right margin of this page. Already you can look over on the right side and see my last few tweets.
