Lots of locals on twitter!

Meet Sam. Sam Shafer. He's a college student and former Bluffton resident. Well, technically he's still a resident, but resides in Bloomington while attending Ivy Tech. He also works at the local Pizza Hut every time he gets home. So, if you order a pizza, ask for Sam. If he's in town he'd love to deliver to you!

Oh the places you'll go...on Twitter

The neat thing about Twitter (if you ask me) is sharing information. It might be a link to an interesting news story, a cool video, a song or even...some awesome photography. Like this:

Dogs are Tweeple too!

Twitter is not going away anytime soon. Don't take my word for it, ask your dog.

According to CNN "Mattel's "Puppy Tweets" is expected to hit stores in the fall.

This nifty gadget is a wearable device (for your dog) that sends pre-recorded messages to Twitter based on what your pet might be doing. Playing, sleeping, barking--no word on what message it sends if Rover leaves you a special 'gift' on the living room rug.

Lots of news on Twitter

You can find a plethora of news agencies making good use of Twitter these days. In fact, it's a great way to keep up with what's happening. Unfortunately, the news is often redundant...
