i can read french still

my new favorite site of the moment: twittervision. it's like people watching from the comfort of your own home/office/desk/rss feed (though that's pushing it....)

see, if you don't already know about it, twitter is this random little site where people post their answer to the question "what are you doing?". people's responses can be anything from "waiting for my meeting to start" to "contemplating the difference between that vs. which". and on and on. there's a character limit (140), so you don't worry about having to scroll through some huge as rant or anything. everything's short and sweet. well, sometimes not so sweet, but entertaining to say the least.

on the twitter site you can check out the public time line (and enter your own "tweets" if you want) which is updated about every 5 minutes, but twittervision is where it's at i tell you. it's a big ol' googlemap that bops all over the the world showing specifically where all of these various tweets are coming from, usually within a minute or so of being posted. and now i can't stop. seriously. i've been watching it for about 40 minutes now....so get your butts over there and join and twitter away so that i can see what everyone's up to.
