I have this idea about a month or two ago, at which point I Googled the idea to see if I was the first, apparently I was not the first to think of it, I mean, how could I be? Jews are constantly innovating their mediums for Torah Dissemination…so the next logical step from Torah Blogs is Torah Tweets…the first post I saw regarding this concept is at a fellow Blogger blog: On Chanting (http://www.onchanting.com/2009/02/790-fear-of-twitter-torah.html) but the author hadn’t quite finalized the idea yet and not started Torah Tweeting yet. I of course thought of a great name for it, because that is what I do, and called a friend for advice/approval (Shuey) and we discussed his disdain for the whole concept of Twitter and the idea went onto my back burners…
