My Twitter Is Now Open To Your Stalker Eyes

20081230-twitter.jpg
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.

cybele: YOU ARE STILL SPECIAL TO ME!!!

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!

don't get me wrong, i do still tend to think its a little bizarre. but so is most technology nowadays. and yes. tweets is weird. like, are we talking about birds? chirping baby birds? very odd.
