Twitter easy to sign up - I got in because of the tvclubhouse message board - they send reminders of the REality shows! (I can remember DWTS, but I always forget when Hell's Kitchen is on!)
Only online for me!
Following Chicago Tribune, CNN, Obama,
Here's whats being said over there:
If you are looking for interesting Twitterers to follow, this is an excellent directory:

Chris Cuomo seems to be very much a family man and enjoys twittering helpful info as well as personal stuff. Also likes feed back.
Anne Curry will keep you up to the minute on current happenings. She is awesome!
Al Roker will give you a national weather report as well as personal info. I enjoy his twitpics of things he sees around him.
Terry Moran of Nightline is working on the situation in Mexico...and has had some compelling as it happens reports.
Jake Trapper is always up to the minute, and actually titles his "fluff" pieces and Fluff Alerts.
Scott Simon of NPR is sometimes dry...but sometimes comical. Very enjoyable. (Especially if you like the dork factor like me.)
Often the reporters will ask for questions if they are about to interview someone. David Gregory tweeted last week. "I am about to interview Tim Geitner, anything you want to know?" I imagine that got a lot of response.
There was an entire interview done between George Stephanopolous and John McCain via Twitter. Nice to keep politicians to 140 characters! LOL
Another thing about the text messages...you can choose WHICH people's updates come to your phone. So, while you may follow 15 different CNN acounts online, and four family members, and a couple of celebrities, you can set each follower's updates so that they do, or don't go to your phone. So even though you're following 20 people online, you can choose to have only your family tweets going to your cell phone.
For desktop use, I use the Seesmic client. You can create groups of people, and each group will have their own box of tweets to follow. Helps to keep an eye on work people, or people in your knitting club, or stuff like that. Works with search terms as well. You have to sign up, then they mail you the link to their beta.
Try this link, but I had to sign up first, so I'm not sure if it will work or not for someone who hasn't signed up. Worth a try though.

So when you sign up with multiple accounts for different purposes do you use a different "Full Name" for each account or do you use the same "Full Name" for each account and different Usernames?
I use different email addresses. I don't think full name matters.
I am finding that through twitter, I am more engaged with the world at large.
Just the other day, I got a twitter from David Gregory of NBC's Meet the Press. He sent an invite to a webchat. Here I was in Upper Michigan, chatting with David Gregory and others about current events, the upcoming show, and people we hoped to see on the show in the future while he was eating his lunch! (He provided a twitpic.)
Through my NASCAR folks I can keep updated at what is happening in the racing world and at the track. Next best thing to being there.
Some people crack me up and make me smile. Others keep me up to the minute with news reports, still others ask for my feed back. Some write inspiring words of wisdom, others are just simply inspiring.
I'm finding it amazing at this point.
OK that is probably TMI from the other message board, but I found it helpful!!

It's been a crazy mixed-up week, but I think things are turning around. 
!!!!
Actually, I am on a weight loss message board that has been very helpful. They usually suggest going back a step in eating when people feel wuckety, so that's what I'm trying. 
Hope you can get a little more rest tonight!

Haven't seen him since last Friday. Still not here today when he called yesterday and said he would be here.
NO more plastic bags - I went to the 
) Oprah.com has some 20% off coupons from retailers to buy stuff that is reusable (instead of a plastic straw - they had a metallic straw - can you imagine!!) 
I really need to get better at actually taking my recyclable bags with me when I go to the store. 
I really can't afford to catch anything because I have so little leave right now.
