Merging of Two Separate Worlds

Monday, December 15th, 2008


I strive to be a tech geek (though I am an amateur one at best) plus I am a climber.  The two worlds RARELY collide, but when they do it is so fun!   One place where they are currently merging is Twitter.

Twitter is a micro-blogging site that I have found to be of utter value within the last year.  Most of the value I receive is through tech talk and following start-up chatter (I actually wrote up a post concerning this on the WasatchGirl blog).  However, it is real fun to see people tweet (meaning to post something up on Twitter) about going climbing or recent climbing news.

A friend of mine and fellow blogger is The Climber Girl.  She is a lawyer based in Oregon who climbs, blogs and tweets.  She wrote up a fab blog the other day called Twitter 101 for Us Outdoorsy Types and then provided these lists of us bloggers and twitterers in the subsequent post.  I was amazed at the list of us geeky climbers… Sweet!  Nice post, girl! =)

If you are on Twitter or want to come check it out, I would love to connect.  I am (as usual), The WasatchGirl.
