For this activity I decided to explore Twitter. Twitter provides the opportunity to regularly answer the question "what are you doing right now". It is often referred to as a "microblogging" site. Posts are restricted to 140 characters, so they can be submitted via text messaging.
It is a very simple site to use. Once signed up you can choose to "follow" other people's posts and view a running list of your posts and those of the people you follow. I have also been using a Firefox plug-in called "Twitterfox" so posts can be made and followed in a small pop-up window accessed by clicking a small button at the bottom of the browser, rather than having a seperate tab or window open. It was also very simple to create a widget to display my most recent posts in the sidebar of this blog.
