Twitter Time Waster

June 5th, 2008 by pdemersjr

My Tiny JesusIt is nearing the end of the week and I am not sure how much work ethic I have left over for tomorrow. This could prove to be a problem since there are eight more hours that I am responsible for in order to make my employer happy. Bring on the distractions…

I have become quite the fan of Twitter. It is totally unclear as to how this happened. At first glance, there is little appeal in seeing what some people that I know in real life and people I know on the interwebs are doing at any given moment of the day. But, it is the most addicting thing I have ever seen. I find myself reporting on my doings and taking in the doings of others conveniently packaged in 140 character messages.

I stumbled upon My Tiny Jesus, a great time waster and a brilliant candidate for a desktop widget a few minutes ago and think it will take my Twitter addiction to the next level. In a nutshell, it takes random Twitter posts and presents them in a line of dialog bubbles coming from a tiny Jesus. If anyone out there knows how to make dashboard widgets and has time, I would mark this as a winner.

Happy last day of the week…
