Thanks for the weekly reminder of why I hate Twitter.
.-= Tom Hoffman´s last blog ..Vivian Reads From The Very Silly Mayor =-.
I like the digest. If only I could make it work on my blog. Wish you could do more than one twitter account too. Would be great for daily headline grabs from the @newsfromtengrrl account.
Bud, I’ve read and enjoyed your blog for a long time, but if I wanted to follow you on Twitter, I would. These posts are really hard to read.
