This afternoon, my beloved EC told me that she was afraid I was going to get some weird disease for spending so much time on my computer everyday. I know she is concerned about me.
I, however, don’t think that continued exposure will do any more damage than has already been done. Much like 80% of sun damage happens to your skin before you are 20 years-old. (And I have weird skin things to prove it.)
Anyway, to refute my wife’s theory, I have joined Twitter. I am now an official, full-time Twit – as compared to a practicing, part-time Twit. I shall prove that I will not contract any strange diseases from this endeavor. I will also refuse to develop any aversions to small blue birds.
So, if you are a Twitter-type person, you can follow me. In return, I will follow you. You know – “tit for tat”, Then we can both be Twits together, and thus foster a Zion-like community in Twitterland.
Now that I have entered this brave, new world, I am waiting for the burst of creativity that is supposed to come with the constraint of only having 140 characters to work with. And waiting. And waiting.
And so it begins… my first tweet:

Trying hard to understand the whole Twitter thing. Maybe it’s because I don’t have a smart phone.
For obvious reasons
I am baffled by the appeal of twitter . . . TRULY baffled . . . I mean, I barely get the appeal of facebook (though I did recently realize you were THERE . . . I mean, as MMM, but I didn’t send you an invite because you wouldn’t have had a clue who I was and it would be just sort of weird for you to know my real name when I only knew you as MMM, however I digress) . . .
Actually I forgot what my point was. I guess that I don’t twitter . . . because obviously I am NOT up to the challenge of being THAT concise . . . ;o)
I’ve got my twitter account set so it tweets whenever I post a new post…and that’s about the extent of my tweeting. I forget it is even there! Once in a while I’ll go and check my actual twitter page and see people have either retweeted or tried to connect. Oops!
Twitter is such a waste of time. Which is why I absolutely love it. Welcome!
Welcome to the #TwitterStake

I don’t twitter. 🙁
I have a twitter account because sometimes Amazon will have deal where you tweet something about them and you get a $1 credit for mp3 downloads.
Besides that, I don’re really get twitter all that much.
I read this guide once. I very slightly understood a little better. But not much

What’s your twitter name?
Ardis: I have never once claimed that I have the foggiest notion as to what I’m doing. This is no different.
Sounds more like a haiku on steroids than a tweet. 🙂
