I saw a widget for the mini blogging service Twitter over at Cathy Zielske's a while back. I thought that it was pretty clever (read: 'over the top') but that i would never really want to use something so gabby on my blog.
Today, Zippy asked if she could write her own health update post for birdtweets and although i thought it was a very sweet idea i didn't really think she could manage the keyboard with her bobblehead going all the time. Bobbling interferes with steady paws you know? After talking it over i agreed that indeed Zippy should have her own voice on Tweets. So i downloaded the Twitter widget you see over there on the right hand sidebar. Whenever Zippy or i have something we want to share right this minute we can just twitter tweet away and you can read it if you want to! Now isn't that just an amazingly good idea that Zippy had?
I finally figured out what you were talking about with that little widget...always a little behind these day! Pretty neat I must say! Oh and...Hi Little Zippy!

My friend, you just completely made my day!! I just saw my own little blog listed in your links and I am H A P P Y!!!! Such company I am in. It boggles the mind a little and brings a huge smile to my face. I think that's the first time I have ever been called a maestro. I think I'll just bask a little. Happy day to you!

Thank you!!!!

Such a relief that Zippy is back home again and doing better! I'm still trying to figure out what Twitter is, but it sounds intriguing!

Darn it, I can't see the Zippy twitter are work thanks to our filters so I will have to look at this at home. I am so glad she is back to her Zippy little self!

Thanks for your lovely comments! I was thinking of Zippy and hoping she's continuing her recovery!

Ohh, what a great way for Zippy to get her thoughts out quickly, before something else catches her attention and pulls her away! I twitter too, but I am so insanely ADD riddled that I forget to update that...AND my blog. Good gravy I need to work on that. ;-)
Stopping by to catch up while laying in a bed in a hotel room in Ohio to visit my great-grandparents. I just thought "goodness, I haven't read Robin in too, too long!"
*me waving HELLO!*

I love Zippy's zippy thoughts! Very cool idea and so glad she's up to communicating and playing with the broom! Thanks for the url. I am on a mission to learn about Twitter for a workshop session I'm producing for an upcoming public TV meeting. I picked the subject I understood least (social networking/new media) so I could learn more! Now I can follow a Twitterama and see what it's like!

that is anawesome idea...who knows what brilliant ideas flow through Zippy's pretty little head...we may all finally find the answers we seek. She could be the next Dali Lama or something! :)
