If you notice to the left of my blog, there is something called Twitter. I've put the title as "What I'm Thinking"
I think I've blogged about it before, but I really like this thing and have decided to use it more consistently.
You ever just want to write a one liner and don't want to put a MySpace bulletin out or write a blog? Well there you go. Here is your platform.
I guess it's sort of like the "status" thing on MySpace, but I like this one better because you have a record of everything you were thinking at that given time. Unlike the MySpace ones that erase when you put a new one in, so you don't know the progression of that persons status throughout the day.
The thing that I like is that you can text in your Twitter, or IM it, or do it on the web directly.
For example, yesterday I was at Walgreens and there were like 3 employees in uniform, smoking right outside the front door. I just thought, man that looks really unprofessional, so I decided to Twitter it.
Why get start Twittering?? Well yes, it's a little self indulgent. Yes, it shows you love yourself and want everyone in the world to know what you are thinking.. but didn't you already know that about yourself when you got a MySpace/Blog anyways??
Here are a few tips. Sign up to www.twitter.com and you need to set up your account it's free.
After you fill out all your info, it will take you to your status page where you can type in what you are thinking.
Then at the bottom of your status page, there is something that says "Grab a Badge" well fill out where you want it, MySpace, Blogger, etc. and then copy the code and post it in your about me section of your MySpace or it will give you directions for the other stuff.
If you want to "Follow" me, go to the column on the left and at the bottom of my status messages, it says, "follow me on Twitter". Click on that and you are following me!
So anyways, I encourage everyone to Twitter. Not enough people do! Basically the only ones I follow during the day are Jenae, Daniel and Brittny. So get to Twittering!!
