As some of you may have noticed, I recently joined the Twitter revolution and secured the username TodmeansFox. While I try to keep Tod means Fox “on subject”, I intend to be a bit more general on Twitter. This means that I’ll post more about what’s going on with me, my work, and my thoughts on politics, current events, and the like. I won’t get as personal as Facebook, though!

My biggest reservation regarding Twitter, and why it took me so long to jump on the bandwagon, had been that I thought it offered little or no substance. In a way, it was akin to the sound-bite and buzz-word “information” network we’ve all become a part of. There’s a lot of noise around a weak signal.

That said, there is some great value in the service. I love following the people I hold in regard. What’s on their minds? Why do they blog? What makes them tick? For the friends I follow, it’s a way to keep track and be in touch without the hassle of calling (just kidding!). While I’m not so interested in when Joe gets a cup of coffee, I am interested to know that Jane works often on Sundays and that Stan loves comic book movies.

Anyway, micro-blogging is just another voice. It’s quick, painless, and a little infectious.
