Twitter: My Own Personal Highly Qualified Instant Help Desk

 

So I’ve been having trouble with image spacing over at the SL-Education Blog. They were crammed up against the text no matter how much padding I put in. Tonight I finally got sick and tired of wrestling with it and called for help. No I didn’t turn on the Bat Signal. I Twittered!

Intellagirl: Anyone know a whole lot about WP? Not a little…but a lot about the ins and outs of the CSS and why it might not act like it should?

And what do you know no less than a minute later a stranger popped up in my Guest Gchat and offered help. Not only did he teach me about the Firebug extension for Firefox (which is awesome btw), but he walked me through the edit in my style.css that was necessary to fix all my image goodness on the blog. So this is a story about one tool leading to another. First, Marcus Welz (of Slbuzz fame) are Twitter friends because we’re both Second Life junkies. So Second Life leads to Twitter which leads to the little Gchat plug in which leads to Firebug which lead to me having a fixed blog!

Giant hugs to my geeky community of friends!

    i couldn’t agree more! as a library school student i’ve used the twittersphere to get feedback on my CV (from librarians who blow my mind), figure out a good digital camera to buy, and get a list of fun apps for my ipod touch.

    tweeps rock!

    Twitter rawks! As someone new to Twitter and as a student studying new media and marketing, Twitter has introduced me to lots of people and ideas that continue to influence my work. Twitter is my AP news wire as well as where I can keep up with the latest thoughts and trends.
