new, new, shiny and new
maura @ 9:05 pm
Here at mauraweb! we’re always sometimes adding new features, because we know that’s how teh intarwebs works, with the new stuff coming at ya at high speed. Behold the latest mauraweb! innovation: Twitter Tuesdays!
Yeah, okay, if I’m trying to get this to sub in for a real post then it’s kind of lazy. But I’ve been occasionally casting about for ways to archive my twitters for a while now, ways that don’t involve handing my twitter password over to some other website. I did figure out how to get google to suck the RSS feed from my twitter into reader, but I don’t know what to do with it now that it’s there (i.e., how to get the feed as plain text). Since none of this is so very pressing, I spend about 15 minutes on it every few weeks and then get annoyed and quit.
So I reckon that I’ll spend 5 minutes each Tuesday popping a week’s worth of twitters in here, and then call it a day. There’s still the matter of my older twitters, but I can’t deal with that tonight. Enjoy!
(P.S. I cannot tell a lie: inspiration for this shiniest of mauraweb! objects comes from Mark Sample‘s blog [he’s a prof at George Mason Univ].)
And now, the twitterstream!

Har, your tweetspace moves too fast! I hadn’t seen it on facebook until much later. I just can’t get into facebook much anymore, not sure why, but twitter seems easier. Facebook is too much to keep up with these days.
This is good b/c I had not seen that tweet!
