Wasted Opportunity

The Giants lost a stinker to the Dodgers tonight - and they deserved to. You can't load the bases that many times, fail to score, and expect to win. You just can't. And the bullpen collapsed again in the 9th. I just hope this isn't a sign of how the season will play out. I'm an eternal optimist though. I still say good pitching will beat good hitting.

On a different note, I'm using Twitter now. I'm a johnny-come-lately to that too, but for the longest time I just didn't see the point in sending text messages to the world that I was going to get a coffee, or head home, or whatever. For one thing, why pay for all those messages? But twitter can be a form of an alert service of sorts - you can choose how often you send tweets - and send them from a web-enabled device or your PC and not via SMS. I think it's becoming a key part of the new Internet.

I've used LinkedIn for quite a while now. It's been more than useful to stay in touch and make contact with folks I needed in business. It's to business what Facebook is to friends.

These three - Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook - seem to me to be the bases loaded. Blogging is the base hit that brings those runs home. Unlike the Giants tonight, I'm not going to waste the opportunity.
