I wanted to capture something live on a near static homepage. Twitter best complements my presence, my activity and adds a curious twist to an otherwise dull static page—making people (who care enough) aware that I’m alive and kicking somewhere.

The best part, of course, is the simplicity of Twittering—one liners, no formatting needed and no need to reach for a computer to update something. I can be in another country, on the road, and one SMS, updates my homepage. I think that’s a fantastic idea.

Update [12.Aug.2007]: Reverted back to normal view, for Sneha, my wife, who hated clicking multiple links to get to new posts.
