I’ve decided to take the plunge and try to figure out just what is so cool about twitter. In an number of podcasts I listen to… guests and hosts alike have told people to follow them on twitter. Some of these people I actually like, so if they’re on twitter, maybe I should check it out. And the only way to really check it out and understand it is to do it I guess… so follow me on twitter at http://twitter.com/csilverman.

I know it sounds a bit funny, but it’s brilliant. David Hobby A.K.A. Strobist was featured on the latest Lightsource podcast. He was saying that he uses a tripod when he needs to light a very large space, so he locks the camera down and uses shutter speed to raise the ambient light. This is not a new concept, but the way David equates the tripod with a large light source is great.
