I’ve Finally Caved: Twitter

I've been holding off on Twitter because I see how obsessed people get with it. Some people post every few minutes...WTF? That said, I've let my gaurd down and become a Twitterer. If you care to, you can follow me at:

    jQuery Link Nudge Plugin

    A while back I debuted a tasteful mouseover/mouseout technique called link nudging. It started with a MooTools version and shortly thereafter a jQuery version. Just recently Drew Douglass premiered a jQuery plugin that aimed at producing the same type of effect.

  1. Hmm to follow with my site’s account, or my personal account… Maybe you’ll end up with two extra followers if I can’t make up my mind.

  2. Well it’s about time you came in from the dark!!! First Twitter and now jQuery. Oh my! Can the Internet hold up?!?! ;)

    I have on twitter for a while and have to say i started with following a bunch of people and it does get ridiculous, random twits are aggravating, but I guess to each his own; now I’m down to following 12 people and about 120 followers…but I read your blog all the time and have to say you will be the next follow.
