A Day of TweetDeck Discoveries

Here I was minding my own business, with TweetDeck  moving right along on our second screen when I noticed a Tweet from @MariSmith full of Exclamation points drift by in the Friends column.

I stopped what I was doing to read the tweet.  It said she had just used TweetDeck’s new Facebook interface to read both and post to both directly from TweetDeck’s columns.

This might be enough for me to make a quick blog entry.  In the RT, re-tweeting of various messages found in the #TweetDeck feed, I noticed one stating there was a web page where all the answer regarding this wonderful social networking tool.  I clicked the link, to be brought to Richard Barley’s wonderfully created page.

After eagerly reading all of it, and learning just enough to make me dangerous on TweetDeck, I RT’s and mentioned it on Facebook.  Then I remembered: “We have a blog!” and decided to expand my remarks.

If you read Twitter, TweetDeck  is the place to go to get the tool you need to make the most of it.

Reflection on The Media

When we started creating Famous Grazing Blogs in 2004, it was the method of communication, the media, which captured out imagination.

We explored and tried every online and off line method for blog creation. Most of the blogs we created still linger out there, occasionally thrown scraps using LiveWriter. 

Blogs were the method used by those who found in it a way to express their thoughts of the moment. 

Then came social micro-blogging.  MySpace, FriendFeed, Friendster and more recently Facebook and Twitter.

TinyPaste is a site Twitterites can use for the Continued spill over of the tweets.

Like moths to flames, as mentioned in the #moleskine line on Twitter, we were drawn away from the blog medium to the instant satisfaction, the crayon on the wall, expression offered by microblogs,

Then we are put to shame by our friend Deven.  He throws up Education on the Plate on the WP site and starts to write professionally, thoughtfully.  The microblog has replaced the comments portion of the blog, but he is using the extended palette blogging allows to fully express himself.

Perhaps his creation will inspire us to make better use of the blogs.  I know more likely it will be like the YMCA tag I have on my key ring.  I’ll know it’s there, but I always seem to be elsewhere.  “ooh, shiny thing..”

No Snow on the Ground

This has been some winter.  As the sun rose this morning, I glanced out into the woods and noticed for the first time in months, there is no snow on the ground.  It has been surviving in the darker spots where the density of evergreens keep the wooded floor in the shade. 

That may sound rather minor, especially to our friends in Canada, but when we moved here a decade or two ago, the nearest kin said, and I quote exactly,  "It hardly snows here.  When it does, it doesn't stick."  Of course, the winter following that statement produced one of the nastiest blizzards in history.  True to form, I must say, when the results of the blizzard passed, the rest of the winter was mild.

This winter was different.  There were no major blizzards.  A nasty storm or two, but nothing that really shut us down.  It was the number of storms, followed by bitter-bitter cold that helped preserve the snow on the ground.

This doesn't mean it won't snow again before Spring takes hold.  We had an April Fools Day blizzard not that many years ago.  The winds from that took down the entire eastern fence. I am not tempting nature.  Just commenting on the snapshot my eyes took with the rising sun.

Happy March!!
