			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am not a &#8216;<a href="http://twitter.com/">Twitter</a> person&#8217;. Watching <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_Laurie">Hugh Laurie</a> a few weeks ago on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friday_Night_with_Jonathan_Ross">Friday Night with Jonathan Ross</a> saying he is none as well was a joy. But when he uttered the following joke, he gave away a splendid idea for a sensational new micro blogging site:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>I&#8217;m <strong>not</strong> a &#8216;Twitter person&#8217; &#8230; I&#8217;m more of a &#8216;<strong>Shh</strong> person&#8217;. I subscribed to this &#8216;<strong>Shh</strong> network&#8217;, where you write something down, but don&#8217;t send it anywhere.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I thought someone might have picked this idea up or had the same idea before, but my short search for such an (obviously hoax) service was unsuccessful. So, I created one myself:</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://shh.selfthinker.org/">Shh&#8230;</a></strong></p>
<p>Apart from the fun of &#8220;cloning&#8221; Twitter, writing a better front-end code and having the satisfying feeling of implementing a small project all in one day, I also had the idea of twittering silence on twitter itself. You can follow my as interesting as everybody else&#8217;s tweets on:</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://twitter.com/_shh">@_shh</a></strong></p>
<p>By the way, I needed the underscore because a twitter user called &#8216;shh&#8217; already existed &#8230; as did &#8216;shhh&#8217; &#8230; and &#8216;shhhh&#8217; &#8230; and &#8216;shhhhh&#8217; &#8230; I could have taken &#8216;shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh&#8217;, but maybe that wouldn&#8217;t have been such a good idea. Seems a bit desperate, doesn&#8217;t it?</p>
<p>These two projects are really a bit unrelated. They serve the purpose of linking to each other. (Yeah, my middle name is &#8220;PR&#8221;. Or was it &#8220;SEO&#8221;? Where is your birth certificate when you need it?)<br />
And, of course, they share the same philosophy: <strong>&#8220;Silent twittering&#8221; for fun and more privacy awareness</strong>.</p>
