TwitterBug


Curiosity consumed me again to finally check out Twitter to see what all the fuss is about. My twitter name is allthingssam.

Twitter is, in Lehman's terms, another form of social media that allows each user to share their two-cents worthy update to their profile with 140 characters or less.

Most peeps like to post what they are doing, share a catchy cliche, provide a link of interest to an article, & allow others to know what song they are listening to, via Blip. My blip name is Bigsmooth.

It's an interesting new way to share your whereabouts, happenings, going-ons, ideas, quirks, and idiosyncracies.

Of course many people can update their prompt, "What are you doing?", on the go via cellphones which seems to make you much cooler, especially if you have an iPhone, where you can give the 411 on your likes and perturbs while sitting on a terrace at the trendy coffee shop.

Yes, I have dreamed of having an iPhone, but damn verizon doesn't provide one single quality phone of my liking that doesn't require a 750 credit score or a 1600 on your SAT! (Yeah, sure, you get 400 points for spelling your name correctly. Who came up with that urban myth? Idiot.)

If you want a more interesting read with some insight and some deets, check out this nyt article.

Honestly, I'm not one for letting my entire rollodex - do they still make those? - know where I am and what I'm up to at all hours of each day. I enjoy my quiet time too. But, occasionally, everyone feels the need to muster up some inspiration to share to their support group, family & friends, business colleagues, customers, and anybody else looking to waste more time that they could be procrastinating in better ways.

Thanks for the comic Pumpernickel.
