In an addendum to the Verizon debacle. I was looking forward to really trying out microblogging from my phone during the cfunited europe conference this week. I am quite saddened that that will not be happening. Especially, since the hotel charges $40/day for internet access in your room, and then has a separate company charge you another rate if you want to use wireless in the common areas. Ridiculous.

The other advantage to twitter was that I wanted to be able to twitter during my wanderings about London tonight, and then maybe even have others twit back to send me back home faster. Granted if my phone worked I wouldn't have gotten lost anyhow.

Granted Pownce would have been even better, since I could have taken pictures of places and then micro-blogged with those right back to the site. Will be interesting to see if twitter incorporates payload.

Finally, if you don't understand Twittering, check out the Geek Brief Daily Video #325 Cali Lewis just put out with CommonCraft.com and their "plain english tutorials". Its an excellent beginner's tutorial on why one should twitter.
