Another Year, Another Sing-a-long

Last night’s celebration of Israel’s 61st Independence Day was very low key compared to last year’s outing in Tel Aviv.  We survived a river of strollers and SpongeBob balloons to go to a public sing-a-long with fantastic accordion action (yes,  here in Israel the accordion is still revered) and today we’re off to a BBQ with the family.

Meanwhile friends in the US are concerned over our imminent annihilation at the hands of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.  To quote that most Israeli of sayings, “Yehiyeh b’seder!”

Twitter Millennial

Celebrating my 1000th tweet since posting my first one on August 1, 2008. (Obviously I’m not a power user like some people I know).

(via TweetStats and wordle.net)

I’m not going to try to compete with the many posts about getting the most out of Twitter, but I will list here a few of my favorites that helped me when I started out:

• Webware’s Newbie’s Guide to Twitter
• TheGuardians’ How to make the most of Twitter
• Digital Inspiration How to do interesting things with Twitter

And a recent find for the Twittercentric, ” TwiTip“.

Now if WordPress.com could only get the new Twitter widget to display status updates consistently! Though given the number of apps that are built around and hit up the Twitter api regularly, it’s a miracle that it works at all. So another 2 sites worth bookmarking, “Twitter Status” and “Twitter Help“.

Update! In the category of “Things I wish I’d known before I started using Twitter”, “Ten Things You Must Know Before Using Twitter“. (hat tip @jeffpulver RT @hilzfuld on, what else, Twitter!)
