Tweet Tweet



Sometimes it takes me a couple of tries to fully embrace something new. For example, I created a Facebook profile a couple of years ago and within a week shut it down because it seemed so overwhelming. About 8 months later, I was ready to open myself to the Facebook experience again and give it a month before making a drastic decisions. Now, I love Facebook (minus the games, virtual gifts, and people who are constantly trying to get you to buy things). I even embrace the inappropriate (not to be confused with profane and vulgar) status updates...so entertaining.

About 8 months ago I created a Twitter homepage. About a week later, I pretended it no longer existed. I didn't get it (still don't completely). What was all the hubbub (real word) about anyway? Today, in the laziness of a hot and windy summer afternoon, I decided to revisit Twitter. My favorite poster is the channel 3 news here in Great Falls. I love feeling like I know what is going on in my community. It might get old eventually, but for now it's so intriguing. I like that I can have some tweets come to my phone and some I can just read when I go to my Twitter home page. I love that I could care less that I only have 1 follower because I'm too busy following lots of other people, businesses, and services groups. The jury is out for a month, but so far...so good. Remember when I said Tweet? Kind of makes me giggle with a nerdy nose crunch!
