Twitter fatigue

in

Over the past couple weeks, I've been Tweeting a lot less often. I still value Twitter a whole heck of a lot, but I've had less to share. Likewise, I don't update Facebook too often, or at least not nearly as often as Amanda does.

I wrote on my grad school blog about how, in the near future, social media will become more mainstream and integrated. I guess I'm impatient for communication experiences that aren't so siloed.

I have to admit that Twitter has been a total sprint for me, especially considering the UW Twitter Book that I wrote for. This track of social media expertise is a long race, and I think I just need to slow my pace to make it to the end.

Halloween party at our house - Be there

We're having a Halloween party at our place on Oct. 31 - this Saturday. The party starts at 7 p.m. and don't stop until the early morn.

BYOB. Costumes are mandatory.

Youngsters are welcome, and we expect lots of Trick or Treaters in the early evening. However, have a child-unloading plan prepared because later in the night (11-ish), we'll pub crawl on 6th Avenue. Everyone should have ID and the right shoes/coat/cape for a few-block walk.

We WELCOME people to spend the night, but please bring air mattresses/pillows/blankets/sleeping bags if you have them. If not for yourself, then for your ghoulish friend.

We look forward to seeing you all on Saturday!
