Following the Twitterati

Twitter has its naysayers and its enthusiasts. I fall somewhere in between. While I haven't found it engaging for my own posting purposes yet, I have been amused by other people's posts. And in particular, Eater.com's "A Moveable Tweet" series has been entertaining. Alinea's Grant Achatz eating at El Bulli for the fourth time - wow and I'm envious (and it feels strangely incestuous). Ruth Reichl telling us that six different cookie covers had been prepared for the December issue of Gourmet — six times as sad that it will never arrive in my mailbox. Momofuku's David Chang spotted eating at the new restaurant The Breslin. I guess this is my own nerdy version of being into celebrity gossip.
