Those of you who like your news even hotter than the presses can manage — and hotter still than RSS — will like the fact that the wonderful International Herald Tribune [1] is on Twitter at www.twitter.com/iht [2]. Because I’m now on Twitter [3], I decided to “follow” the paper and discovered that there are only 58 people following it at the moment, so you can be among the very first if you hurry. Interestingly, the IHT is now following me, a pretty common practice among Twitterers I gather.
Whether under this rather silly bird rubric or under some other name, microblogging is here for the medium term at least, folks.
