twitter: Twittering...have you tried it? - 06/19/08 12:11 AM
So I know that the AR community is a pretty tech-saavy, up-to-date, forward thinking group. So maybe you're all already Twittering. But I for one just heard about this about a month ago. And I finally joined Twitter last week. And already, I'm hooked.
If you have no idea what I'm … (6 comments)

twitter: All a-Twitter or Not - 06/17/08 08:45 AM
I try to try out everything before I tell you about it. Twitter is one of those things. Twitter is what's known as a "micro-blog" or a "presence indicator" in the industry. In short, it's a way to tell the people who are following you what you are doing. But here's … (5 comments)

Twitter is addictive. I lurk for the most part, but am already addicted to @guykawasaki, @respres, @npr, etc., etc. If you like keeping up with what's going on out there, keep Twitter in your sidebar and just 'listen.' But beware, this could be you!

Attention Home Buyers: Lock in Your Rate
That headline grabbed my attention - I'm sure it did you.
Brett Arends makes some very good points in the article. As you might guess he sees rates going higher, much higher, sooner rather than later.
