I heard about Twitter last fall when a tech geek friend of mine said I should sign up. I saw no point.

I laughed as another tech geek friend was posting “eating pie” from his cell phone to Twitter as he was eating pie at a church get-together.

How ridiculous to think anyone cares about the mundane details of our lives. Or so I thought…

Well, I got an iPhone the other day and have been looking for cool things to do with it, so I decided to join Twitter.

It’s still early, but I think I’ve been won over!

What is cool is to get glimpses into the “real life” stuff of people I know only online… and many people I only know by name.

You can “follow” the twitter posts of anyone you want.

Then I started thinking how cool it would be to be follow the happenings of people on my list. Sure, I don’t *know* most of you personally — but if you’re reading this we’ve got a lot in common.

You can follow my twitter posts at:

Once you’re logged in with your own Twitter account, just go to the page above and click the “Follow” link under my picture to follow my posts. I’ll be notified and then will do the same for your posts so I can keep updated on what is going on with you.

Sure, it might be a place to feel self-important. But the potential for that is overshadowed by the coolness of being able to keep up with people so easily and get to know each other.

P.S. I’ll almost certainly be posting some *insider* stuff to Twitter about my upcoming release of the Outsource Mastermind in May. To stay in the know, follow me.
