I have taken on the challenge to Twitter by my business partner Cotton Rohrscheib. He constantly tells Greg and I that we must Twitter. Now for anybody who knows Greg and myself, this is almost comical. We just don’t get it. We constantly ask “Why?”, “What is it for?”, and “Who cares what I am doing?”
But anyways, I took the challenge. For those of you who aren’t that familar with Twitter, here is their definition.
“Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co-workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?”
Now, what does that mean in practical terms. Basically, using a variety of different methods, you tell the world what you are doing, thinking, or working on all day/night long. You decide when and what you type, but are limited to 140 characters in each post.
I have been Twittering for about 48 hours now and I do have to admit I still do not get it, but with that said it is somewhat addictive. As I sit at work, I have an app on my desktop call Twhirl that I can instantly type my thoughts. While I am out of the office, I can type messages into Google Talk on my Blackberry and they show up. And finally, as I was sitting in my recliner tonight, for some strange reason I had the urge to log into the system and type something. The information is meaning less, I think, but I still had the urge to do it. It has also evolked a blog post on my blog which has been dorment since inception.
Hopefully, I will continue to venture into this world of social networking that I know is the direction everything is headed and embrace these new ideas.
Until next time.
