Follow me on Twitter and I'll try to make it worth the 30 seconds it takes for you to do it

I'm using Twitter (http://twitter.com/hlas) to not only plug my and Gazetteonline's stuff, but also to pass on what I hope are newsy, interesting items whenever I come across them.

So if you aren't among those who currently have @Hlas as someone you follow, I ask you to give it a try. Hey, it's free.

I won't plague you with what I'm having for breakfast (never eat it), anecdotes about my precocious dog (don't have one, precocious or otherwise), or what I'm daydreaming about (my future tax-exempt home in Malibu, one like Charlie Sheen's character owns in "Two and a Half Men" that will given to me out of kindness).

I post occasional observations not worth two cents, absolutely. But mostly, I try to pass on links and retweets I find interesting. And if you want to ship me links and retweets to forward to others, please do.

So ... that's that for now. As you were.
