Unfortunately, this is not a real entry. It is just a small note to say that I have finally joined the Twitter bandwagon. There is only one way to join a bandwagon, and that is with gusto! So while I have not had time to write a good report on Kenya yet, I have been doing some small Twitter updates.

You can see my updates and sign up to follow them at http://twitter.com/jlipps!

Basically, Twitter is a micro-blogging service using the web, mobile phones, and IM as equal media. People write short (usually less than 140 characters) updates, which are then sent immediately to interested parties (your group of friends, for example) via whichever communication channel they desire. I'm not sure how useful it is, but given the mobile slant, it's an interesting experiment in instant/anywhere publication. Check it out, and see for yourself.
