Extreme Goose make-over

5 Feb

As I said in my previous post, when I started this blog I had no idea what I was going to write about. I thought I’d write a few posts and it would come to me, or I would decide to keep it general. It seems the answer lay in my second post. Among all the serious stuff, I suggested we geeks bring along our non-geek friends and family to 27Dinner and introduce them to twitter.

Well, that’s what my mission has been and I think it is time to share. I have been evangelising my favourite subject; twitter to “offline” friends and family for months, no matter how irritated they got of hearing it, I persisted. Heck, not even total strangers are safe! I often meet people at events or in business meetings and they too get the full twitter 411.

So I have decided to dedicate a part of this blog to profiling the new geeks myself and other geeks have “converted”. Hopefully this will introduce you to them and make them feel the warmth of this amazing community. (aw, sweet!)
This new direction comes with a new design and a new-look goose. The only goose that tweets.

The rest of the blog? That will be left for all the “other stuff”. You know; the real-life stuff, the work stuff, the friend stuff and of course….

The twitter stuff.
