When asked to create a twitter account, I was unsure how to feel. I have always had a deep hidden fear of birds. A social networking site that has a blue bird as a mascot and whose name resembles the sound birds make did not seem appealing to me. I eventually faced my inner terror and joined twitter. After a week on twitter, I realized that twitter may not be a bird at all but really a place where friends, colleagues and strangers can share ideas, quotes, and updates with eachother. Once I distinguished twitter from the disgusting, disease-infected, soul less animal know as the bird, I grew to like it.
I liked having a creative outlet that not only my friends would see but also others that are well respected in their fields. Take for example Conan O'Brien. Each day I could count on getting at least one good laugh from a Conan tweet such as this classic, "I was carving pumpkins with my five year old son when I swear I heard him say, That's what happens to snitches."
After this experience, I plan to continue using twitter to follow my favorite celebrities and to tweet funny ideas myself. Yes it is much easier for people to stalk you on twitter but that is not a problem for me as I am the least interesting man in the world. I don't always share pointless information with strangers online, but when I do I use twitter.
I am glad that you found Twitter to be enjoyable. I think that there is good and bad in it. I also liked getting to see what some celebrities were saying as well.
ReplyDeleteTwitter is a really good source for reading what favorite celebrities decide to say...I look forward to posts by Blake Shelton all the time, it makes it fun. Are you really scared of birds??
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you found pleasure in using Twitter. I did not follow a bunch of celebrities, so the site was pretty boring. Logging on to the website to read their daily jokes was not something I wanted to make a habit of, so I viewed Twitter as more of an assignment rather than a pleasure.
ReplyDeleteI can honestly say I tried following different celebrities but I never knew which one was the legitimate one so I never was able to follow them. I feel that if I was able to follow them it would have made Twitter that much more enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteIt is good to see that you grew to like Twitter. I have to say that I won't ever get over the fact that people can stalk me on it, but you managed to so I am sure you will have a good Twitter experience.
ReplyDeleteYay for another person continuing to use Twitter. I'm glad you see it as useful as I do.
