San Jose Metblogs has been hanging out on Twitter for some time and thought it about time we mention that. We would be honored if you stopped by and clicked Follow.

Twitter (Typing What I’m Thinking To Everyone Reading) enables you to send short messages, up to 140 characters to your friends or “followers.” Twitter is designed to work on a mobile phone as well as on a computer. It is a free service; however, you may incur charges from your wireless service.

Along with following us on Twitter you will also find us on FriendFeed, Identi.ca, and of course, Facebook.

San Jose Metblogs was officially launched on Valentine’s Day 2007. Thus, we are celebrating our 2-year anniversary.

Thanks to all who have dropped by to visit and to those who have left comments.

Those of you new to the blog will find a sampling of the types of posts we do listed here…

If Metblogs is a city, hub.metblogs is the playground. We kept hearing from people that one of their favorite parts of Metblogs was meeting and interacting with readers and writers from other parts of the world, as well as getting requests for more ways that readers could be involved besides just posting comments. We thought about this for a while and decided that with a network like this, a giant community area where folks from all over the world could hang out, post photos and videos, talk with each other, form groups, play games, send messages, and do about a million other things was probably a pretty fun idea. The Hub is that.

If you have any tech ideas or suggestions join this group and speak up. See you on hub.metblogs!
