So I've come to like Twitter more and more recently. Here's why:
- Following people from the publishing industry (agents, editors, publishers, writers, etc.)
- Brevity
- Links to top publishing stories
- Links to funny and amusing articles
- Links to hot topics
- Did I mention Links?
- Hitting the ReTweet Button and feeling like I've Tweeted something, when in reality I'm stealing someone else's thunder
- Substituting the word Tweet for Fart at the dinner table. "Gross! You Tweeted!" As you can see, we are a very formal family.
- Twitter's symbol is a bird. I don't know why, but I like birds so I like the symbol.
- I'm assuming Twitter thinks Tweet is the sound a bird makes.
- Hey Twitter, birds do not tweet. They chirp.
- Using Twitter as an overall news source. Did I mention Links?
Lately I've been Chirping a lot. It's true that 140 characters from at least 140 people can enlighten you in some way, even if it's a Link.

Why can't you believe I'm an A's fan?
ReplyDeleteDon't tell me you like the Dodgers . . . or the Giants . . . Don't you know the A's are AWESOME?! :-)
Shannon: I've never encountered an A's fan who lives outside of Oakland. There's a first for everything. I'm a Royals fan. Sad, I know. But things are looking brighter. Cheers to baseball season.
ReplyDeleteI'm a person of so few words, Twitter is a perfect fit for me. So why do I hesitate? The time suckiness factor. I have a hard time keeping up with my blog. Out of curiosity, how much time do spend chirping every day?
ReplyDeleteSounds like you're getting a lot of fun out of it. That's cool. Happy Chirping.
ReplyDelete...funny conversation you two are having. It caught my attention because I grew up an A's fan...while living in Ohio:)
ReplyDeleteEL
Ah. The A's fans have taken over. At least you're not Yankees fans.
ReplyDeleteLove twitter. Checking to see if I'm following you...
ReplyDeleteTRACY & HEATHER: You may win me over to chirping.
ReplyDeleteYou have been on Twitter a lot lately! I'm very sporadic. We need to get Anita on Twitter.
ReplyDeleteHeather: Yes, please follow me. I'm trying to take over the world. Strength in numbers.
ReplyDeleteAnita: Join the dark side. Chirp your heart out.
Kelly: I'm on spring break. Can you tell?
I am so happy you aren't a Dodgers or Giants fan, Tracy. I can live with KC. :-)
ReplyDeleteBaseball rocks!
Shannon: Thanks. I can barely live with KC. ;-)
ReplyDeleteGood luck trying to take over the world :-)
ReplyDeleteTHW: If I can get Trump to run alongside me as VP of the World, then I might have a shot. I'll also be soliciting Jacob Wonderbar (and the Cosmic Space Kapow) but I'll have to wait until he exists (May).
ReplyDeleteTwitter is growing on me too. Mostly because I find new blogs like yours because of it.
ReplyDeletebfav: You are Drastically Misled. ;-)
ReplyDelete:-)
