Don't be a twit-tweet!

I believe I’m a convert to Twitter.  When I first heard of Twitter about two years ago I didn’t get it.

“140 characters?”, I said to myself. What can you do with that? Months went by and I gravitated toward Facebook and currently have 350+ friends who discuss various topics.

What really started me rethinking my Facebook use were the games. “Farmville”, “Mafia Wars”. Buy someone a virtual drink. The gimmick-ness of the pages was getting to me, and still does.

Once I used Twitter more and more I found myself liking the short posts and would go to some of the links. Also-good tweeters have developed a skill to inform the reader and intrigue them. I find Twitter to be somewhat of a news aggregator and a way to supply information quickly to followers.

Admittedly, you can do as much on Twitter in comparison to Facebook but Twitter feels more basic and not so much “cute” stuff.

I imagine in a few months the possibility of “wearing out” on Twitter and finding something else to try.

We’ll see.
