ALRIGHT, WE’VE UPLOADED ENOUGH content to user accounts on other social media websites, that we feel confident enough to officially blog about it here. We announced our intentions to go two-point-oh a couple of months ago in Virtues and Virtuality, and now we’re making good on our promises. We’ve started to bookmark articles and webpages that we find particularly interesting at Digg; we’ve uploaded lots of portfolio photos of our landscaping work around town at Flickr; and we’ve catalogued the videos that we’ve produced so far, and some that we’ve favourited, on YouTube. And if you don’t want to have to keep checking back at all of these different addresses to see what we’ve been up to lately, just follow us up-to-the-minute on Twitter. I don’t recommend that you have these tweets forwarded to your cellphone, since they will usually only consist of weblinks and 100-character descriptions — unless you use your cellphone to surf the web. Personally, I don’t enjoy squinting, I prefer to look at a large screen back at the office. But either way, stay in touch with Green Apple, and we’ll keep cooking up top-quality eco-content for y’all!
AND FOR YOU NON-NERDY NEWBIES:
WHAT IS DIGG? Digg is a place for people to discover and share content from anywhere on the web. Once something is submitted, other people see it and Digg what they like best.

WHAT IS TWITTER? Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent messages. People write short updates, often called “tweets” of 140 characters or fewer. These messages are posted to your profile or your blog, sent to your followers, and are searchable on Twitter search.
