I'm playing around with Twitter these days to see what's what -- but most of all, because I don't spend enough time online. :^)

My Tweets appear at right. Here's my Twitter page.

If you're on Twitter (apparently there's only about 3,300 TOians) or have otherwise checked it out yourself, let me know.

The Sunday Star had a big Twitter piece. Some excerpts:

Frank Moher has issues with CBC's At Issue panel (too white, too CentCan). He even includes a YouTube rant about the show!

Brian Brennan flogs newspaper blogs, wondering what exactly is their reason for existence:

As I see it, the biggest single problem with many of these Canadian newspaper blogs is that they lack a sense of immediacy or urgency. They are allowed to sit without updates for days and sometimes weeks on end. The whole idea of a newspaper blog, surely, should be to provide information and comment sooner. The American newspapers have apparently figured that out because they now make political blogs an integral part of campaign coverage, bringing to them a mixture of gossip, commentary, and trivia along with serious reporting produced at lightning speed. In Canada, a newspaper has to produce new content daily, yet the blog postings on that newspaper's site are often allowed to stagnate before being refreshed. The newspapers have the technology and the talent to do things better. They should make use of it.

That is how former White House press secretary Scott McLellan characterized the White House press corps with respects to selling the Iraq War to the American people.
