Katya says: No excuses!
Make sure you watch the video in Katya’s blog post:
DO NOT THINK IN TERMS OF CONSTRAINTS. Think in terms of possibility. It’s not about what you can’t do. It’s about what you must do. Just do it!

Twittering the news
Josh Catone at Read/WriteWeb writes about using Twitter to keep an eye on what’s happening in the current US Presidential race, and concludes that Twitter has a lot to offer in the realm of news. [Politweets is a site that tracks mentions of US politicians on Twitter.]
Politweets is actually useful. As my example from last night illustrates, the site clearly demonstrates Twitter’s ability to disseminate newsworthy information quickly and effectively — and in a conversation atmosphere.
Some sports leagues may be cracking down on live blogging, but as we have suggested, Twitter is going to become a more and more important way for people to report on news as they see it happen. Whether that is “Turn on the TV, something is happening!” or “The score is 87-84 with 23 seconds left,” Twitter is becoming a useful tool for citizen journalism.
