Today I've been thinking a lot about Twitter. Is it bad? Is it good? Does anyone really care? A couple of days ago I signed myself up for Twitter. Why? I'm not really sure. I have just started a new job in marketing and eventually I'll be using Twitter for that. I guess I felt like I should join up and get used to it. Take a step into the Twitter pool.
So what's been my experience so far? Frankly, I keep forgetting about it. I don't have a phone set up to send Twitter messages. Currently the only way for me to post one is to log in to the homepage and type one in -- something I am routinely forgetting to do.
The other side of the issue is the actual messages. What do I say? I am not a particularly witty person. I don't have great epiphanies on a daily or even weekly basis. I do have random thoughts, but who wants to read those. In the past week, I think I've tweeted 7 times. That's it. No grand statements. I have four followers, two of each I think are fake accounts. One is my brother, and the last one is my boyfriend -- both people I talk to on a regular basis. So I say things that go into the abyss of the communication network.
I feel like I am adding to the clutter, adding to the noise. I don't feel like I am doing anything remarkable or really interesting.
Maybe my usage will become more interesting when I am tweeting for my job. Or maybe it will be exactly the same. Adding to the commotion with some useless dribble.
