Thing 31: More Twitter

What does your Twitter page say about you? How does it reflect your personality? Have you given people enough information about you so they have some sense of who you are as a person?

I had heard about Twitter before I created my account on the previous Twitter thing. I was excited to create an account and to be involved in this online sensation. I now use twitter on a pretty regular basis. I tweet about how i'm feeling, what i'm doing or about something cool that I saw on the internet and want to share. I have started following alot of celebrities and people that I admire. Its cool to become a part of their daily lives (almost) or at least to see a part of their lives that you might not normally have the access to. I have not found a whole lot of my friends and no family that I know of uses twitter so its become kind of a little different and almost a secret thing that I can vent into or use to say things that I might not otherwise say. I would say that I am in the microblogging stage. Although I am not constantly or daily updating my status, I try to as much as possible and I have 1x1 conversations with other peeps. I think that twitter is an excellent way to connect and to get your ideas and thoughts out there. I think that it is connection. Although I may be a little technology phobic when I think of being able to tweet from phones and many other devices. I like my phone to be used for calling people and texting directly to another phone. I don't have internet access on my phone or a full keyboard and I will resist this until its humanly possible. But I do like twitter and I will continue to use and communicate through it.

Thing 27: Twitter

So I finally joined this whole Twitter thing, I have been hearing about it all over the news. It seems that everyone is doing twitter so I was pretty excited to get to this thing. It was a lot easier than I thought it would be. I created my profile, added a picture and a few friends. I think that it is neat that I can go to one website and get updates not only on my friends but also on my favorite authors, bands, and other people that I find extremely interesting. I also like the fact that there are libraries as well with profiles. I think that it allows people in that area to befriend their library and get caught up on updates or events going on at the library. Its a great way for the library to get in touch with more people and to seem more up-to-date with technologies and what its users are using in their personal lives. It is great to see the library progressing and branching out to different mediums to get the message across and to get users into the doors of the library.
I tend to babble on and get kinda lost in what I am writing so sometimes it is hard to do this whole micro-blogging thing. I always want to say more to convey the right message but I guess I will just have to learn to be more concise. I think that this is also something that I could apply to my daily life, sometimes I think I can be long-winded. I tend to go off on tangents and lose my train of thought on what I am saying. Kinda like how all my blogs tend to turn out.
So in conclusion, I am now on twitter. You can follow me, my username is jabeans.
