I've been loving Twitter for a few months now, and I got to wondering...who else from Talkbass is on Twitter? 
I figured we could get a thread going so that we can follow each other and keep the bass-ball (get it?) rolling outside of TB. Post you @ link, and remember to follow those above you!
Peace and Low End

For anyone interested in getting on Twitter... beware. It's addictive.  |

The same principle as a forum, but more "blog" oriented, in that you "tweet" out small Internet tidbits you've found: something interesting about your day, a picture of you dog playing hockey etc...and all of your followers see this and can reply to you about it...all instantly via teh interwebs. highly addictive, but even more so informative, in that you are essentially allowing X amount of people to gather interesting information for you and send it to you and others several times a day, and you get to do the same in return.

So it's kind of like a cross between a forum and instant messaging.

[rant]Because we're building an entire generation of attention whores who not only demand continuous human interaction, but who are so egotistical that they think someone else might actually give a flying rat's @$$ that they're eating a frickin' ham sandwich right now. How about turning that crap off and reading a book?[/rant]
Whew. That felt good. Thanks.

Please, this is meant to be a way to share your twitter account with other bass players, not a way to vent on someones way of life. You said a lot of inappropriate things in that post that I'm choosing to ignore ...but lets keep this clean.
...and for the record, I do in fact read.

For example, Sonic Youth: http://twitter.com/thesonicyouth
Stuart from Mogwai updates with setlists and hilarity: http://twitter.com/plasmatron
And Shaq is amazing: http://twitter.com/THE_REAL_SHAQ
Oh and here's humble old me: http://twitter.com/megadan
