Darren Rowse is frequently mentioned here on the Blog Herald, but it is usually due to his excellent blog ProBlogger. This time, however, it is all about his most recent venture, a blog about microblogging service Twitter.

It is obviously fashionable to launch Twitter focused blogs these days, with Darren Rowse's TwiTip that launched recently (don't miss the interview!), and now Mark Evans joins the fray with Twitterati.

So not just Twitter then, but microblogging in general. Sounds like a plan. Visit Twitterati for more.
