• About My Twitter Hiatus – I’m known for being a very active twitter user, recent applications have tracked my daily usage from being 20-30 tweets on average. I’m not like other twitter users, as I have a very specific method in which I use the tool. However, two weeks ago today, I stopped using twitter, and announced that I’m on temporary Twitter hiatus.

I’m not taking a Twitter hiatus, but I am using it in more interesting ways, such as looking at its ability as a listening device in health care. I wrote my first Twitterbot, here: http://www.twitter.com/wxdc - it very simply tweets the Washington, DC weather on a schedule. Feel free to follow it if you’re interested in the DC weather.
