Play Week, application #2

So the second app that I decided to play with was Twitter. I heard about microblogging at the MLA webcast on Web 2.0 yesterday, and didn't really get it -- so I thought that would be a good choice for play week! Hummmm, not going so well -- I created an account with no problems, but having trouble adding contacts. My computer is extremely slow, so I'm thinking it might be a "timing out" problem. I'll keep working on it.
