I’ve just noticed that the daily Twitter digests are missing some items. Between the end of 14 March and the start of 15 March, for instance, it’s missing my morning haiku and four others: 1, 2, 3, 4. Must fix. Or must I?

Thoughts on Twitter
In just two months, Twitter has become one of my core communication tools. Non-Twitter instant messaging and Facebook have all but disappeared from the mix. Here’s why.
Actually, before that… If you don’t use Twitter, or if you’ve taken a look but don’t “get it”, watch this 2.5-minute video Twitter in Plain English from those wacky Canadians Common Craft. Love their style.
OK, back?
Like the character in the video, I was sceptical about Twitter. Why do people need to know every little detail of my life? Who cares? I said as much to Perth’s Twitterati late last year. But then I actually tried using it — and I “got it” immediately.
