I'm such a twat.




Recently “The Twat Daily” linked up a blog post that I wrote. I asked around about the newsletter, which runs using paper.li It seems each newsletter ran by the paper.li application is not an “online newspaper” as it claims to be- more a “content aggregator” gathering together sources from different web pages and providing links. Some believe it's shitting all over the good name of publishing. I say, if it allows people to find and read my work, and if my blog registers hits from this application, it's all good.

I linked up The City- a blog post done in rhyme- over Twitter. I asked if I in fact sounded like a twat rather than some kind of blogger poet. The post was picked up by @PimpThySanta, who runs the Twat Daily. I'm not sure what to make of the site, to be honest. Some of it is links to respected news sources like the Telegraph, other links go to personal blogs, others to porn sites. In fact, most of it goes to porn sites. Christ knows how this guy found my work- perhaps by searching Twitter.com for “twat”.

Regardless, thanks for the promo, PimpMySanta.
