If that’s true then James over at Gibbous Moon should be down right flattered. Some how it had never occurred to me to quit using my personal twitter account to post updates to my blog. James did this a few days ago, so I figured I should give him credit. aDLaaDS will now be posting updates to @ADLAADS on Twitter.

An interesting article over at CNNMoney.com has found that only 27% of Twitter users are active.

The first thing I noticed was how well the book was built. It’s held together very well for nearly 30 years. The second thing I noticed was how wordy it was. This made me think about how so many trainings and how-to guides that have been created lately rely heavily on images and videos with minimal words.
