Happy Twitterversary!

Having been on Twitter for exactly one year, it's interesting to see the changes in my "following" list. When I first signed up I mostly followed news, politics, health and parenting-related tweeters (twitterers? twits? :P). Now it's populated by friends, and people who make me laugh (often one and the same thing!). The difference is not insignificant. For the same reason that I decided I really should stop reading the "comments" section at the bottom of many news articles, I've stopped taking in quite as much of the news itself. As much as I like to be aware of world events, it's a good deal better for my mental health to settle for being semi-ignorant!
I didn't even realise, when I lamented a few days about Twitter stealing my blog, that it was so close to a year already. It might be interesting to look back at what I've tweeted about in that time and see if anything more bloggish grows out of it ...
