…And decided to finally get with the program. I haven’t used The Facebook very much personally, but the raw power of it has finally been driven home to me and from now on I’ll be updating that page before I do anything.
There are a great many things that I do in the course of my work week that I feel would simply clutter up Eject! Eject! Eject!
However! On “the Facebook” I can update pretty much everything I do, which in a typical week includes interviews with CIA guys and other National Security types, TRIFECTA segments with my buddies Steve Green of VodkaPundit and Scott Ott of Scrappleface, various and sundry other PJTV elements, the AFTERBURNERS, of course, and small scraps of writing such as lunch instructions for the sandwich shop or other Indispensable Elements of the Bequest to Humanity that the teeming masses await with bated breath.
Seriously, though — it looks like a great way to get out the message and I’d be flattered and honored if you feel like signing up.
Now on to “The Twitter!” I understand that by “tweetering” I can send out small messages called “twits.” Anyone interested in receiving these infrequent “twits” – and this includes updates to the page on The Facebook – can follow me on Twitter as @BillWhittle. (And if you think I will be using that to let you know what kind of cat food I buy you will be sorely disappointed at the infrequency.)
Thanks to all. Next week: a re-post of FREEDOM from Silent America, and from now on I am going to post the AFTERBURNER scripts the day I record them, so you can tell all your friends and be the coolest kid on the block.

1. vanderleun:Dear Whittle,
It’s “tweets” you send. Whether or not you are the “twit” depends upon your tweeting.
Your pal,

The link you posted for your Facebook page does not seem to work.

Oct 17, 2009 - 10:14 am 5. Burke A:Tweets, not twits. Or the TWiT army (http://www.twit.tv) might come after you. Welcome to “Teh Facebook” though.

The Military Voting Rights Project. I set it up to serve as a clearinghouse for FB members to help the military in their state to get their vote counted.
