I'm finally checking out Twitter. Does that qualify for Late Early Adoption or Early Late Adoption? Or am I just so far out of the loop that I'm relegated to total Newbie status?
In just a few minutes, I was able to link with (add as friends) some of the finest minds in New Media (is it still called that today? Probably not. Note to self: Moving to Alaska means not knowing the lingo anymore).
Anyway, the site itself - while simple in premise - does take some convoluted navigating through the FAQ to figure out how to make things work. The instructions almost make sense but then don't. Still, I was eventually able to hook up my mobile phone to receive messages and finally figured out how to post on the Web site (it is easier to understand the instructions for posting via phone than the site). But no matter, I was in, on and Twittering.
Living so far removed from the happenings and goings on in the industry makes for an interesting contrast. Everyone else is coming back from conferences, going to meetings, doing deals. I'm twittering about my baby, the temperature (started around 15 degrees below zero today), and trying to get work done with said baby.
All in all it was a fun first day on Twitter.
I did, of course, shut off the phone text message feature and unsubscribed from Googlenews. After 2 messages, I was already sick of it. I'll just Twitter on the Web. Twitterific!
Do you Twitter?
To Twitter or not to Twitter. I don't Aliza there's always something new. I heard about Twitter last year, I just thought, "There's one more thing I have to pay attention to"...you know there's only so many hours in the day. To be frank I would rather take time out and smell the roses instead of Twittering away...though I know in my position that's not going to happen...alas, I guess I will be twittering too.
