    I found an interesting site on the Internet. A Brazilian bikini producer http://www.brazilian-bikinis.net/myblog.shtml What’s so cool about it? Not the bikini, but the tone of voice.

    Twitter makes bloggers lazy. Because it’s much easier to write 140 characters from Yahoo Messenger (like I use from Switter) than to write full articles. Some of them are overcoming this, but some don’t ๐Ÿ™‚ Using twitter in my case confirm this theory.
