I think I have to become a Twitter-er

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.
