“Twittering” at NCCYM…

Yep, it really happened…  No, I’m not kidding – I’m thinking of investing in one of these t-shirts.  Have you seen them?  Really, I have to thank my friend Alicia for introducing me to this phrase at all, but now, I can actually say, in my great humility…(*ahem…quit laughing those of  you who know me well)…that I’m feeling like, “I’m kind of a big deal!” 

Here’s the whole story:  The other day, I get an email asking if I know Anne Marie Cribbins.  Yes, I write back…thinking she is either very sick or in need of help, or some tragedy has befallen her or something.  Well, it turns out, Anne Marie suggested me for a project, one I’m thrilled to be part of.  Here’s the plan – and if  you love “techie” stuff, this is right up your alley…

I will be one of a few people “Twittering” about the National Conference of Catholic Youth Ministers (NCCYM) to take place in Cleveland in December.  Twitter is a cool site.  You can update what you are doing in just a few words - from your cell (yes, you can post to a blog from a cell!!!) or your computer.  It’s pretty incredible.  So as I experience the NCCYM, I can just give short feedback or impressions…share thoughts about talks, inspirations, etc. 

Now, here’s the cool part.  There is a whole set of people who will be Twittering about the NCCYM at this site:  http://www.nccymmicroblog.2smallcoins.org/  We’re giving our “two small coins” as input.  I hope the Lord realizes it’s all I have!
