So the latest service to take James’ notion of [Declarative Living](http://www.redmonk.com/jgovernor/topic/declarative-living/) to its logical if highly unnecessary conclusion is [Twitter](http://www.twitter.com/). Essentially a sort of presence-enabled real-time microblog, it’s become quite popular amongst the digital elite. In my defense, while I subscribed early as is my custom to secure my traditional ‘sogrady’ login, I held off on actually using the service for weeks. Maybe even months, I can’t remember when it launched.

But the [peer pressure](http://blog.unto.net/twitter/twittertastic/) was finally more than I could bear, and I’m now officially a Twitter user.

So if, like me, you’re reluctantly – or even not so reluctantly – documenting your whereabouts and current state of mind even more obsessively than you used to, I can be found [here](http://twitter.com/sogrady). If you’re not, but still desperately interested in such information, I advise you to either a.) seek professional help or b.) hit my [homepage](http://redmonk.com/sogrady) and scroll down a bit. I’m not as cool as [DeWitt](http://blog.unto.net/twitter/twittertastic-two/), but I am lazy.
