The Twittering Kind
Like a lot of people on the ol’ World Wide Web, I was a little apprehensive about this new social micro-blogging (posting of short messages to the web) tool that is known as twitter. I mean, everyone and their brother seems to be embracing this new tool, but, what was the point for me?
Did I really need to let alert anyone at a moments notice what I was doing, thinking, or wanting to know? Apparently the answer to that is a resounding yes.
Yes, I am now a Twitter fiend, addicted to broadcasting my thoughts or activities 140 characters at a time. While I can see why some people use it to stay in the loop with friends and family; I am loving the ability to network and find out what others are reading up on and looking into.
Now, while it can be hard to manage and a little overwhelming if you start following people willy-nilly, it is still worth the ride, as you will no doubt learn something new once you work out the kinks.
If nothing else, it’s a good way to gain some knowledge, and network a little, and with very little effort. I mean, 140 characters is nothing, a sentence or two. This is a small price to pay to stay in touch and stay informed in my opinion.
Anyway, please visit on Twitter, and if you are feeling a little froggy, sign up and follow me: AC Botts Design on Twitter!
