Weekly Twitter Wrap

Everyone seems to be utilizing twitpic and the like more and more these days. Last Friday (when the twitter wrap was on vacation in Vegas), I even felt compelled to send notice with just a picture and no words. A picture of the pool seemed explanation enough. If only I could be back there right now...



Not only have pictures become common place in twitter feeds, but so has audio and video. Jessica Mendoza (@jessmendoza) is actually the first person I have noticed using video (this is more a reflection on myself noticing than the prevalent use of video - I'm sure it has been widely used for months). I personally used an audio clip via http://chir.ps a few weeks ago and did a celebratory dance around the office when it finally worked. The options for communicating with fans are expanding and getting more fun and entertaining.

Our lifes in pictures (and video):
