I will preface this blog by stating that I have never twittered or tweeted or whatever it's called. As a matter-of-fact, I just visited their website to make sure that what I believed I thought about twitter was true.After watching the video "Twitter in Plain English" my question was answered. The premise behind twitter is that people really want to know what other people are doing...all the time. It's being sold as a way to stay connected between e-mails and blogs. I was not aware that my friends and acquaintances cared that I was making a cup of coffee, clipping my toenails, or reading the obituaries.
Call me old school, but if I'm going to divulge such personal things, I'm surely not going to do it in writing, and I'm definitely not going to put it out on the internet for anyone to read. I'll stick to long phone conversations, leisurely lunches, having dinner with a group of friends once a month, and chatting (in person) on the playground.
For any of you who enjoy twitter...right now I'm typing. Now I just blinked. I just uncrossed my leg. I just blinked again. Ooops, typo...I just hit the delete key. Staring blankly and thinking. Wondering if I'm offending anyone. Going to make a pot of coffee.
Don't you feel connected?
I did not realize you were such a talented humorist. I am laughing out loud. There's a tear coming out of my eye from the laughing. I am reaching up to wipe away the tear. Now I am laughing some more. . .
