Twitter gives me the warm fuzzies
Happy 2009! Back from Fiji, survived Christmas/New Year and one 'child's' birthday along with renovations. Is it a holiday when builders are banging on the door at 6.45 each morning? I'm not sure but gradually this house that hasn't been touched in the 12 years we've been here is getting a bit of a facelift.
I'm still using Twitter and now after almost three months. I've not been madly racing to get hundreds (or thousands) of followers but I've been slowly involving myself with a small group of very interesting and inspiring people and now I'm really enjoying and 'getting' twitter. Sometimes it feels like a tiny window into someone's world that you would otherwise not experience. Other times it feels as if I am in an enormous room and can hear all the conversations going on. Occasionally someone will start a conversation that I can contribute to and that makes me feel good. What's also kind of cool is that I've just launched my iPhone blog and within my group of people I follow I can see who actually has an iPhone from their tweets. I was thinking for a while that I was a bit of a lone ranger on the iPhone front but now it's great to see I'm in company.
Like anything in this new world Twitter takes time to develop and turn into something useful or worthwhile. I'm loving the way it makes it easy to make good connections and I'm also loving the way everyone loves to share helpful stuff.
What more can I say? Give it a try... go on.
