OfficeTally’s all a-Twitter

Twitter lets you send short messages to “followers,” who can choose to receive your messages via IM or cell phone text messages.
I post a Twitter whenever I update OfficeTally. You can see what they look like in the OT sidebar.

That is correct, and they will air back-to-back. Starting Sept. 29, our first hour will air, and then the following Thursdays our other three hours will air.
