Today I added myself to WeFollow with the tags #genealogy, #technology, and #innovation.

What do you mean you have never heard of it before? You must not be on Twitter.
What is Twitter you ask?
The quick explanation of Twitter is that it is like blogging, but you only have 140 characters to get your message across. Some call it micro blogging. What do you twitter about?

It is a great way to connect with others you may never meet in person. It is also a great way to get the inside scoop on things that are happening in the genealogy world.
Twitter Detective
When I joined twitter on 19 December 2008, one of the first people that I “followed” was Paul Allen, the CEO of FamilyLink.com. What that means is that any “tweet” that Paul posts, I would see as well. I was able to follow Paul on his recent trip to Auckland, New Zealand. And that is where I first heard about GenSeek.
