Twitter<\/a> is many things to many people.\u00a0 It’s a lot of things to me too (status updates, communication channel, notes application, self-reminders, etc). But for the last couple of days I am having a new experience with it – virtual presence.<\/p>\n

Last year I attended Greek Blogger Camp<\/a>.\u00a0 It was a lot of fun<\/a>.\u00a0 This year however I didn’t manage to get in due to some work obligations.\u00a0 However those guys who are there, they twit a lot (particularly Stefanos<\/a> himself).\u00a0 That sort of brings me there without any travelling.<\/p>\n
