Twitter

As we are all aware, technology is advancing and we are becoming more and more social. It was just four years ago that I started Facebook and I cannot imagine my life without it...as weird as that sounds. It is such an awesome social network that keeps all of my friends in touch in a fast and easy way. Yes, I know that it loses the personal touch of a phone call or letter, and I am working on balancing all of that out.

As I blabber on...so I took a technology class last semester and my teacher talked about twitter. I sort of listened, but most of the time I was too concerned with the facebook screen in front of me :) Well, I caved in and am now a part of the twitter community. Everyone has been talking about it, mostly celebrities. So I figured I could check it out. It is basically like a mini facebook. You update your "status" and people converse with you according to what you say. Twitter deals a lot with the conversations you have with other people. I think it's very interesting and I have been willing to give it a shot. Not that I am very interesting or anything, I'm just curious on the type of conversations I can have.

  1. twitter is pretty fun, but i gotta say, facebook has done a great job of stealing its thunder. your status update is pretty much the same thing. The cool part about twitter though is that you can be friends with celebrities and its less intimate than facebook. so just a quick blurb and that's it!

    glad you're becoming more technologically advanced!

  2. You know I completely agree with you. Twitter is okay for the quick update, but facebook is so much better. And I must say I have quite a few celebrities that I am following. Not that they have anything interesting to say, it's just entertaining :)
