An Ode to Twitter

Along with posting more often on my own blog, I’ve also been trying to get back in the habit of reading others’ blogs more regularly. I followed a link recently to my old friend and colleague Daphne Chong’s site. I really loved her “Ode to Twitter”, especially this bit:

I feel a surprising pang thinking about Twitter going away, even though I don’t actively post on it today. There is more than a decade of me catalogued – a lot of my professional growth, and serendipitous connections. Even now, I can’t get some of that back…

Looking back on the thousands of tweets I imported over the weekend, I know exactly what she means. It was a big part of my life for a long time, and I’m sad that it ended the way it did.


Important Note

This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
