My Twitter Is Now Open To Your Stalker Eyes
- Twitter...I haz.
Haha, just kidding; I know you're not stalking me.
...
For the past one and a half-ish years that I've had a Twitter account, I kept my updates private. "The public world does not need to know my every bite, burp, and emotional fart." I rejected loads of people I didn't personally know and felt free to Twitter life-changing events such as, "sitting in my pjs, about to do some homework", "donuts. ...d...d..DONUTS OH DEAR GOD", and "my manatees do not pat nor flap, but PLAT."
I have just un-privatized my Twitter so that anyone out there in Internet land can follow me, see how boring I am, and then go back to unfollowing me. Since I'm opening the flood gates, I'll Twitter links to new blog posts as I make them, which isn't very often. But I'm not Twittering this one because that's pointless.

yay twitter! i was VERY ambivalent about the whole tweet phenomena until a couple of weeks ago. then i was convinced. some of my readers had HIGHLY convincing arguments about how/why to use it if you're interested

Yes, it is all your fault I have one now. Although, actually, I always wondered what Twitter did.

the sassy kathy: I'm not really convinced, but ever since I installed Twitterrific I don't really have a reason not to twitter. (Also, I dislike calling them "tweets"..bah!)
SuperChomp: It wastes your time. ARRGH!

I'll probably reply to your comment on this page. If you have something to ask me that's unrelated to this entry, please email me instead.
After you post a comment, please wait a while before checking if it has been posted. People frequently post the same comment twice by accident. I know that this has to do with the way my site sluggishly handles comments; Dreamhost probably put me on a pooptastic server. If you have any idea how to make MT speed things up, please let me know!

Well now I don't feel so special anymore.
