Now the Pressure is on!

Well, another fine mess I've gotten myself into. With all my work, facebook, LinkedIn and now Twittering it seems I'm creating a very short leash for myself between my MacBook, my Crackerbarrelberry and well, me.

Lots of exciting news on the work front. I continue to reach out to new potential contributors and of course advertisers for Thinking Highways and Thinking Transit but seriously, who wants to sell advertising in this economy? That being said, that's how we pay the bills in the world of publishing and media.

While this is not a corporate blog, it seems my life is becoming one - little separation of work and personal. That's not entirely a bad thing since I would love to develop a fine reputation for myself in the world of Transportation. The more I learn about the Flattening of the World through technology, the more confident I feel in my ability to become part of the new middle. My skills have always been in communications (even if I'm a bit short with people sometimes) and in translating complex ideas and concepts into everyday language that the rest of us can understand! I've had a great few years learning more about technology, US politics and government and of course, Transportation.

Just wanted to do some jotting. That's all for now - aren't I being so much more diplomatic these days?

Now on Twitter!

For what it's worth, you can now follow my daily and sometimes minute-to-minute activities through my tweets on Twitter.com...For those of you (Mom) who may not be up to speed, Twitter is the newest, latest, greatest social networking tool (though Google has a new Twitter-style app with GPS-based location updates) that allow people to keep in touch in a brand new way.

Imagine you're out for a walk in a neighbourhood you aren't familiar with and you post a tweet or update to your page that you're out and about. What do you know but your best friend was there two weeks ago and knows a great restaurant. Perhaps through your network someone also knows a great art gallery and since you've also updated your Facebook page recently someone also lets you know that they are heading to the same hood if you'd like to grab a coffee.

That's just one of the potential ways that Twitter and other programs will change our world. Put all in the place of your hand too through a great share-ware program for your Blackberry that can be found at orangatame.com - check it out!

So...go to Twitter.com and you can view me at justincpeters .
