I really enjoy the PESO/GESO postings here, and I thought others might
too.  So I built a little mash-up that creates a Twitter feed.  It's
at http://twitter.com/PDML which in Twitter lingo would be "@PDML".
Probably few here know about Twitter, it's hard to explain but easy to
get addicted to.  A "Microblogging service" they say, but it is
*definitely* the flavor-of-the-month among the hard-core Web geeks.
There are currently 1,700 or so people following my Twitter feed.
It'll be interesting to see how many people pick up @PDML.

This is what they call a "mash-up" these days; I wrote it up here:
http://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/200x/2008/04/30/PDML-Twitter-Mashup

The way it works is keying off the subject line, looking for "PESO:"
or "PESO -" at the front.  So for those who object to Twitter or don't
want further exposure of their pictures, just say "Peso" or "PEsO" or
something and your note will be bypassed.

What I really wanted to do was to link the Twitterized version of the
PESO back to the PDML archive, but I wasn't smart enough to figure out
how to do it.

Welcome, PDML, to "Web 2.0".  -Tim
