I've noticed a marked increase in the use of the "back of the napkin" phrase of late. (Of course I *should*, given that I've been saying it myself ten times a day for two years. It's probably just my huge distaste for 'the law of attraction' hogwash coming around to bite me in the rear.)
Anyway, now even A-list blogger Nate Ritter is using a napkin sketch to illustrate how Twitter is helping to save the world.
So take that, doubting Andy -- I told you "back of the napkin" means something. At least in the US, anyway...
The napkin on twitter ? it sounds great.

No problem, Dan. I kinda like the actual napkin too. I used to do "analog blogging" (which I prefer people don't use the collapsed name for), where I scanned my sketches and journal and then retyped them (for SEO) into my blog. It definitely was fun, and I really like the handwritten stuff which is aesthetically gives off a completely different feeling on the web, where everything is so sterile.

Thanks Nate -- now that's MUCH better! (Not that I don't like the fancified version, but I'm in my napkin phase these days.)

Funny thing is that diagram is a translated version of an actual back of a napkin. Here's the link to the original: http://flickr.com/photos/theritters/2179291638/
