Do You Have a Twitter Account?
It seems that ‘do you twitter?‘ or ‘do you have a twitter account?‘ are the most frequently asked questions in my email for the last couple of months. The answer is - no, I don’t have a twitter account (or ‘I don’t twitter’ - since it seems ‘twitter’ is becoming a verb.)
There are several reasons that I don’t have a twitter account. I tend to be a bit ‘wordy’, as the readers here and my poor professors have found. Twitter’s a hundred and forty character limit seem a bit restricting. Further, I have no idea what I would want to post on a twitter account. I have spent the last week or so monitoring my day and seeing if there was anything ‘twitterable’ (let’s make the word an adjective too). Fortunately or unfortunately, there was not a moment that I thought ‘hey, that is something that I should put on a mini-blog!’. Some family members and total strangers might like to know. Of course, the sad fact may be that I may be boring mcboring.
In any case, the people who suggest that I do set up an account on twitter are biased. I would like to hear from you and use you as a small focus group. What are the positives and negatives of using twitter? What started you on twitter - or kept you away from the twitter service? I am ‘atwitter’ to know (sorry, it had to be said).
