twitter

A couple people have asked us recently when we’re going to join Twitter. Some of our competitors (and many of our friends) use the service, but neither I nor Karen has gotten that into it, so we weren’t quite sure what to say.

On the one hand, we don’t generate a whole lot of “news” on any given week, and of course we always have the blog to broadcast our announcements. On the other hand, Twitter isn’t necessarily about official news/announcements, and there are plenty of paper and pen related topics we could tweet about.

What do you think? If we created a Twitter stream for Quo Vadis or our parent company, Exaclair, would you read it? What sorts of things would you want to learn about in 140 characters or less?

If you like to keep track of the news in your neighborhood, your job just got a lot easier: Radar, a new website from outside.in, automatically feeds you links to the latest stuff that’s going on near your address. According to the site’s blog:

Radar, as the name would suggest, organizes the news in dynamic, concentric circles around you. First it looks for news immediately around you, within 1000 feet. Then it searches for stories in your neighborhood. Then, in your city. And if you’re out in the middle of the desert somewhere, where there are no neighborhoods or cities, it will just keep on going until it finds something, then will ping it back to you. Just like the real thing.
