Yes, it's December 23, and rather than think about all the Christmas-y things I need to be thinking about, I am considering signing up for Twitter. Not for personal reasons really. I don't have much to say, and I don't have a lot of friends to say it to.
My first encounter with Twitter was for a client. She signed me up with Co-Tweet so I could post for her business. Well, that didn't go very well. I was new to the whole Twitter thing, and didn't grasp the concept. Quite frankly, I still don't. I mean, isn't it just that Twitter has taken the FB and MySpace "status" and created a site just for status - and nothing more?
Anyway, I didn't do a great job posting because I didn't know what to post - or how to post. Since then, I've created a Twitter account for the non-profit I'm involved with. I post - well, I cheat. I post to Facebook and then that posts to Twitter. But does anyone read Twitter? Because I don't. So all those people I'm following who are posting - they're posting on deaf ears. (or eyes!)
Now I've had some time to post, and now I'm posting updates for a new client. While I still don't feel like I know why Twitter is so great, I am a much better poster. But now - maybe it's time to get my own account. Maybe from my own business standpoint. Because from a personal standpoint - meh. I have a lot of teenage nieces and nephews, and none of them use Twitter. So it doesn't seem like much of a "teen" thing. Maybe it is all about business.
Who knows. I'll try it. It'll give me an excuse to be able to post comments to Tosh.0. No wait, let me see if I can get this right.... @danieltosh - is that how I write it?

I'll always read through comments and take a trip over to your blog to see what you're up to. I follow a wide variety of blogs - a bit eclectic - but I love to read what other people are thinking about.
