Amazing… just took a break from the all-day Journalism and Databases session we’re running, checked for recent Tweets, and there was one apparently from myself:
Hi.i found this phone.could you tell me how to find the owner..
A few Tweets later, messages from Xian Crumlish, Michael Fitzhugh, and Dylan Tweney, pointing me to the source. A block walk and I had the phone again (which I hadn’t even realized was missing until Twitter told me). Thanks so much Good Samaritan Silje for having the brilliance to check my address book and send an SMS Tweet as me, and to alla y’all for helping to track it down.
Xian’s book title is spot on: The Power of Many.
Update: Whoa! This little dance just got covered on Wired.com’s blog (by Tweney).
I need a good program to turn tiny urls in to regular ones. Any ideas?
