Surrendering to Twitter
When I woke up this morning, I didn’t know it was going to be a day of firsts, but here I am - twittering. I’m late – very, very late. I’m the last one in the office to sign up and surely not the first one of us to post about it.
Now, you would think in my line of work I would be a Twitter junkie, but that’s not the case. I’ve had a love/hate relationship with Twitter and still do. First I was indifferent, then slightly interested, then just plain annoyed. Now I’m intrigued. It’s entertaining to be let into a little window of someone else’s psyche. However, I still don’t want to know the mundane details of everyone’s day – but then it hit me. I don’t have to. I can cater Twitter to work for me – and that’s what it’s all about. I finally get it.
Twitter isn’t just a form of entertainment – a recent project for a client taught me that. I am now seeing Twitter in a new light, changing my contentious opinion of why it’s so popular. I’m well aware that within a couple weeks, I’ll most likely have Twhril installed and will be following all of my friends on a minute by minute basis – keeping up on the mundane details of the day. That’s just how powerful, entertaining, addicting and effective social media is.
