I’ve had a personal Twitter<\/a> account for a few years now.\u00a0 And in those years, I’ve micro-blogged about LEGO and my other personal interests, about life, work, and random ideas.\u00a0 And if you don’t mind that, add me as a friend.\u00a0 But the spirit behind BrickBuildr was to build a web-site, using current social technologies — Flickr in this case, to be very fan-of-LEGO-centric.<\/p>\n

And over the past few years, I’ve collected personal blogs (like collecting e-mail addresses in the 90’s).\u00a0 There are features that I like\/dislike about each & I would talk about things on that new blog until I got bored or frustrated, then move on.\u00a0 A few months ago, I decided to move all of my fan-of-LEGO-centric blog entries to one location — this blog<\/a>.\u00a0 There, you will see blog entries dating back to 1998 where I announced that I was getting back in to playing with LEGO.\u00a0 Not that I feel that Blogger is the best blogging solution, but it’s been the most convenient.<\/p>\n

And everywhere you look, almost every solcial networking site has some type of micro-blog.\u00a0 And like a creature of habit, I experiement looking for the the best one, but sometimes the best one isn’t the most popular one (see Betamax vs. VHS debate) and the most poplular one wins out — Twitter.\u00a0 Love it or hate it, it’s part of our technology zeitgeist.<\/p>\n

So I set up a Twitter account for BrickBuildr<\/a> and my fan-of-LEGO-centric thoughts.\u00a0 I also created this Twitter account because of something happening over on Brickworld<\/a>.\u00a0 And this got me thinking, like watching an Apple press release\/announcements via Twitter, you’ll be able to follow BrickBuildr’s Twitter account for similar information when my wife and I attend Brickworld.\u00a0 And I’m sure that my comments will be just as unfiltered & snarky.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

But the real reason why I’m setting up the Twitter account is every day LEGO-centric things happen that I find interesting, everywhere.\u00a0 Some are noteworthy, but I try to keep the chatter down on the blog to an entry every other day at the most.\u00a0 I figured that on Twitter, I can post daily some of the interesting stories I run across, but for editorial reasons or time, don’t want to post it to the blog.\u00a0 And I promise not to tweet about “I’m off to work” or other stupid chatter that’s not LEGO-centric meaningful… and we’ll see how long that lasts.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n
