I have a couple of 'em now, and it's a bit addicting.
The name "arielmt" is already taken on Twitter. I've been searching for ages for a name both unique and meaningful, and they've all been taken, so I gave up and found one that was unique and meaningful to me, even though it's pure nonsense to everyone else: mof18202, pronounced "em of eighteen two oh two." If you have Twitter, you can follow me there.
If you don't have Twitter, or if you're philosophically opposed to Twitter but not opposed to microblogging, I'm also on the distributed and open source OStatus network now. I have a StatusNet site and account: arielmt@s.thornton2.com. If you have an account on a StatusNet site, such as at Identi.ca, you can follow me by either going to your account and adding my address as a remote subscription or going to my account profile and clicking on the Subscribe button.
Both of my accounts are bridged. Except for some replies, anything I dent on StatusNet is automatically tweeted, and anything I tweet on Twitter is automatically dented.
And so far, even though Twitter is far and away more popular right now, I'm liking StatusNet better.
