I'd have to be living in a bubble in Antarctica to not be aware of Web 2.0 and all the related platforms. I've resisted most of them, telling myself I'm either too \"old\" or that they don't add value to my professional life. But after hearing John Dvorak<\/a> poo-poo Twitter for the longest time, only to take the plunge<\/a>, I figured I could give it a try as well. <\/p>\n

Nobody cares what I just had for breakfast, at least I hope not, otherwise you need to get out more.

Anyway, if you'd like to take part in the great Twitter experiment, you can find me at http:\/\/twitter.com\/jeffhicks<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
