Twitter is a very silly site, with a slightly cruel undercurrent since your number of &#8220;followers,&#8221; (hence, your popularity) seems to be such a big part of it.  I see people who join and who hang around a while and then drift away from it, something I&#8217;ve sometimes wanted to do myself, but I still tweet (a ridiculous word) a few times a week and, well, kind of like it.  <\/p>\n<p>The thing about Twitter, though, is that it&#8217;s definitely cut down on my blogging since things that before I would have posted here I now just fire off in a quick tweet, especially things related to gay marriage (yay, New Jersey!) and trans \/ CD issues (and, uh, &#8220;Breaking Bad&#8221; &#8211; I was hooked!)  I suppose eventually this blog may pass away (what doesn&#8217;t?), though I still do like it and will continue to post when I do, especially since people write me every now and then and thank me for certain posts and comments.  I have a couple longer blog posts that I keep meaning to finish but they just aren&#8217;t there yet so who knows when?
