Dear readers:
Do any of you use Twitter? If you do, and you want to keep up with some of the smaller behind-the-scenes goings-on at PansyPatrol, you can follow me: @Clint47.
You should also check out the people from Atlanta who are using it to find cheap gas. Plenty of Twitter users comment on where to find cheap gas, but as of 4 days ago or so Atlanta users have begun tagging their posts with #atlgas to make the posts easily searchable. If you want to check it out (or if you live in Atlanta and need gas) go to search.twitter.com and search for #atlgas.
The #atlgas hashtag was started by Tessa Horehled of Driveafastercar.com. Read her article on the Atlanta gas shortage to see how the hashtag spread.
And, while you’re at it, add me to your follow list and see some of the stuff that doesn’t make it to the front page on PansyPatrol.
