I am on twitter and very seldom tweet. I find it funny that 1742 people follow me. I don’t even know that many people. Who are these people and why are they following me? In twitter land is it the more people you follow the better your rank in twitterville is? I only follow 39 carefully chosen people who give me information. Fox News, CNN, John McCain and friends and family members. I am not against twittering I just don’t seem to have that many interesting things to say. Somehow this not twittering is causing me stress, I signed up because I was told by people I know and respect that it would help grow my blog. I am not going to de-twitter myself, as I might tweet occasionally. I do love listening in on other people’s conversations. In a nutshell (or a Twitter-sized, 140-characters-or-less post) I like Twitter’s short, sweet flow of information. And the way it allows me to choose what information to follow. I do like it when some one tweets about something and includes a link to more information. Then if I want to learn more I can or I can book mark it for later. It seems to be a good way to share ideas and for self promotion. You can step in or out of a conversation when ever you want. In many ways I feel like I am back in grade school passing notes. I plan to hang in there and hope something interesting comes to my mind to tweet about.
