When I switched my attention to Tweeting rather than
blogging the idea was to be able to quickly make a note of items which I’d
probably like to refer back to (and which others interested in the same topics
may also find useful).
Twitter’s lack of searchable archive means that isn’t going
to work too well... so while I’ve been able to cover more ground... the archive
idea isn’t going to work unless I store stuff somewhere.
So here it is. Key tweets, with weblinks, for January 2012:
