Have you ever heard of Twitter?  I hope you have and that you're following Waggle Room on the service.  What is it?  Well, it's a concept called microblogging.  You get 140 characters to say whatever you want in a message.  I use it to post feeds of our articles and talk back with people who want to chat about golf. 

There are tons of interesting people on Twitter.  Lance Armstrong, Shaquille O'Neil are among the athletes on Twitter.  MC Hammer is on Twitter.  Yeah, the 90's is on Twitter.  And now, joining them, is Natalie Gulbis.  The folks who represent her - that I follow on Twitter - tipped me off to it. 

I followed her (you don't friend people on Twitter, you follow them...cultish) almost right away.  And, since I'm planning on going to Vegas to escape DC for the Inauguration, I wanted to see how things were in her hometown of Vegas.

@natalie_gulbis Has the snow melted off of the strip there? I'm heading to Vegas for inauguration weekend. DC will be crazy! 4:43 PM Dec 19th from web in reply to natalie_gulbis

And, believe it or not, Nat responded!

@waggleroom Yes! The snow is still in the mountains which is beautiful! 10:44 AM Dec 21st from web in reply to waggleroom
