If you refer to the use of twitter, then no.. his twitter account is actually just peons tweeting for him. Not too long ago, I retweeted <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/video/playerIndex?id=9095775" rel="nofollow">a link to a video of him admitting he didn't tweet</a> because 'his thumbs are too big for that'. ROFL. I'm sure we all realize he meant that his thumbs are too big for 'texting' but it also shows he's not as savvy as his staff have led us all to believe. And hey.. since everyone made such a big deal misinterpreting what McCain said about email, it's only fair to make sure Obama gets his 15 minutes of 'numnuts' fame too. Regarding your shrimp problem... Shave first? If that's not possible... try have the shrimp on a stick. Somewhere I read that everything's better on a stick.

Next year: Putting off plans on sitting down with President Obama for problem solving brainstorming, I have to meet with Florida's Governor first out of all fairness to him and his issues.

In Italy live social networks are quite big recently, but I wonder how many of them will actually last. But to me real life means dining in a good restaurant, going to a concert, meeting friend in a pub, all things that my age and my physical condition make quite hard (I hardly can walk and I need someone to drive me around).

I wonder though whether 'real life' may make a come back the year after next? Just a thought??

It's happening already, with people preferring to use fb and twitter instead of blog. The people who will be grateful for this are the therapists/counselors, who will get some clients back when those who use their blogs as therapy become frustrated that no one is commenting to either help them sort things out or validate their feelings... and so go back for traditional help. (A wee bit tongue in cheek for sure, but there is a thing happening... everyone is noticing it.) I don't know if the kindle-type thing will really go where they hoped because even lovers of the internet who read their news almost totally online now (like me) still want a book when it comes to reading. There's something about that. Dropping a kindle into the bath is probably bad for it, it just doesn't feel like 'curling up with a book in bed' to read on a screen, and no one is ever interested in stealing your book whereas I'd worry about forgetting my kindle on a bus seat. I think we'll be closer to watching television exclusively online instead of the old fashioned way too. But what do I know? I thought melon ads were a good idea. LOL.

I thought that electronic book thingy-me-jig would have caught on but I still see peeps on the train with the old faithful paperbacks. I still prefer to read a newspaper than one on line but I am always way behind with technology and can't get along with the internet on my phone at all... so were will we be next year?? who knows :-) interesting question?

Right now I have a terrific interaction between my blog (even if I haven written a line there since ages) and my Facebook account. Why has Facebook made it so big? Simply said, it has an enormous advantage over all other social networks: it's multimedial! Indeed there are other multimedial social networks, but they are not as simple to use as FB is, and anyway, you know anyone you may need to contact is already there. So were are we going to be next year? Facebook and Twitter will share between themselves users Those looking for a place to show off and those looking for a practical media to use. This unless someone comes with something that much better and better packaged. It is feasible, but it takes resources, people, skill and lots of money. Anyone ready to take the risk? <i>Alex</i> No doubt we will all be more and more social.
