I’ve been using Twitter for both the social aspect and for blogging. I post updates about my life as well as links to articles I’ve written and articles and sites I think are cool. I have found it to be an invaluable source of news tips, good advice, as well as a humorous diversion.
I like to use Tweetdeck on my Mac, and Twitterberry from my phone. Tweetdeck lets me see my @replies, direct messages, and my friend’s tweets, plus it has the ability to shrink a URL directly.
There’s a whole tribe of dads on Twitter, and I’d like to share a list of fathers who tweet so you can follow them as well:

Hey,
I’d like to throw my hat in. I’m a freelance writer and SAHD of a beautiful 2yo little girl (you can see her blog at http://www.ricecereal.wordpress.com)
I also write as the Portland (Oregon) Fatherhood Examiner at http://www.pdxdads.com, and for numerous parenting magazines.
I tweet on SAHD thoughts, post articles, recipes, and most anything else that pops in my head. You can follow me at: PerksBooks
Thanks!

Fatherhood is a challenge, changing myself to avoid what seem like mistakes my folks made, while making more & maybe worse mistakes of my own … a lifetime experience, which still helps me in my spiritual growth as I pursue my adventure – http://twitter.com/JimLegge
@shawngardner and @2not1 both talk fatherhood!
Please add me to your list!
