Posted by Tricia in Thursday, August 7th 2008

I’ve had a really bad migraine the last few days. I don’t know what caused it, but it’s stopping me from getting much of anything done! It’s better today than it was yesterday!

Yesterday I read a blog post about keeping your Twitter and Plurk accounts functional and it caused me to revisit a site that I’d been to in the past, but dismissed as not being what I needed at the time.
The site that I visited and subsequently signed up for was Ping.Fm. Perhaps you’ve heard […]
