Twitter!!! #notsurehowIfeelaboutthisthing.

So this week I was asked to blog about twitter as a social media site. I started a twitter account a few years back because it seemed like a good way to keep up with things and people I am interested in. After a few short weeks of use I decided I was very unimpressed with it. I'm not sure if I just wasn't utilizing it in the right way but I felt like it was simply an avenue for folks to update their followers with silly unimportant information, like: "I'm washing my laundry today" or "My kid just threw up". I can understand that for some people that is the draw of twitter, that you can quickly update and don't have to spend a lot of time thinking about what to say or wording it just right, but for me it was just plain boring. I also never felt like the contents of my day were great or interesting enough to share with others in such a short blip kind of way. When I update my status on facebook it's usually a very well thought out, articulated, interesting status, and I suppose that's the style that I prefer. I know a lot of people - from all around the world- enjoy twitter, I'm not one of them.
