Now, what you have all been waiting for… A little Twitter fun.
Follow the llama
#f2f or #funtofollow
- @fakestevenwright – one of my favorite comedians.
- @dowhatItellyou – just do that the llama tells you. Good.
- @awkwardfamily – Awkward family photos – the name says it all.
- There are a TON more. Unfortunately, many can be pretty course or raw (read: inappropriate). My philosophy: there are so many great accounts out there, why follow these others?

The famed “Fail Whale” is what you might see when Twitter is down. (This used to happen frequently. Thankfully, we don’t see him very often now.)

There is another Twitter app – one that I cannot mention yet – which I am working on. It is one of those brilliant ideas that has been KILLING me for a year now that it has not been created and I AM SO CLOSE!
But, we have run into a little snag. We built it and then realized that we need to switch technologies to Ruby/Rails/Javascript. So if you or another person you know with these mad web dev skills are interested, let me know. I want to get this up and running – yesterday.
