You can see an example of this in the sidebar of my site.  The second column now displays a Twitter badge that displays my last 5 Twitter postings (affectionally known as “tweets”).The code was provided by Twitter (http://twitter.com/badges).  You can select one of three styles of badges.  I am using the HTML version that immediately leverages the CSS file I use to control my site’s presentation.

I normally don’t have a problem explaining new technologies to people but Twitter really caused me to pause and think.  

A Twitterer for more than a few months now I find it a great way to stay in touch with friends and colleagues.  Now that I use Twitterific I am able to submit and track Twitter posts all day long.

Cali Lewis (of GeekBrief.TV) latest show discussed a video created by the team at CommonCraft Show that does a great job explaining how Twitter works and why you would want to use it.  It is really short and worth watching.
