I’m already skeptical…surprised? I feel a bit overwhelmed by Twitter and frankly not all that interested in it. I mean it’s been a bit helpful. One organization I’m following has links to some good articles I’ve read in the past couple of days. But I also have a lot of questions – you know the stuff you have to figure out in the beginning. Like….
1) If I set Twitter up to be used on my phone, will it cut into my texts message amounts every time someone I’m following “tweets”? I think it charges me a text every time I “tweet” – but I don’t plan to be tweeting all that much. For now, I’m just following. So I’ve got to get that figured out – otherwise it seems the twitter thing is useless UNLESS you have it set up on your phone. That’s the only way you can take advantage of say – special offers from businesses, etc. Am I right??????
Ok, so maybe I really only had that one question. Or maybe the coffee hasn’t kicked in yet to remind me of the other questions I had.
I’ve already decided that I’m going to quit following one of my fellow tweeters. It’s a gal who has a ginormously famous blog and although I sometimes enjoy reading her blog – and think it’s funny – sometimes – I don’t particularly enjoy most of her “tweets” – in fact they annoy me a bit. She seems like one of those who has nothing better to do but tweet all day.
WHICH leads me to another thing I found unbelievable. I went through the little tutorial video (which was fairly helpful) and then read this little bit about “limits”. For instance, you can’t tweet more than 1,000 tweets a day. 1000!!!! Are you kidding me? Who does that? Apparently someone with fast fingers, a lot of nothingness to say, and a lot of free time on their hands. Unbelievable. This twitter thing is really a phenomenon for sure – of the most insane kind.
I also realize that – like a lot of stuff in like – I’m probably taking all of this too seriously. I need to lighten up and realize that Twitter is supposed to be fun, right? I’m supposed to have fun with this. I’m supposed to lighten up.
So there’s Day 2. Feeling skeptical.
