You should be following us on Twitter, where we are posting breaking news, links to our favorite stories and what we're covering. We're also posting from meetings and events as they happen.
Twitter is a social media microblogging platform where users keep their "followers" up-to-date with what they are doing with short posts of just 140 characters or fewer. The service launched in 2006, but it has taken off like gangbusters this year.
According to Compete.com, Twitter more than quadrupled its users from November 2007 to June 2008. There are now more than 1.2 million Tweeters.
Lest you think it's just for kids, a Time magazine article last month reports the largest age demographic is 35-to-44-year-olds, which make up more than 25 percent of users. And the 55+ demographics are growing, too. Interestingly, more than 57 percent of Tweeters are from California.
Here's where you can find us, so you'll know when the pagination system crashes or when we get cranky phone calls or drunks barge in to city council meetings:
