Twitter Review

I like Twitter, but I've found over the months that I've been a member, I'd rather read your updates than obligate myself to updating my own tweets.

If I'm going to find time to socialize online, I'm going to plant my rearend at the computer and write something of substance. Not that regular Tweeters continually blurb "I'm having pork chops for dinner" and "oh, a really weird looking car just went by". Some folks have the Twitter essentials down to a science, and with 140 words or less pass on a whole lot of pertinent/interesting information in a single tweet.

I have a blog and email, and I also have Viewpoints :D. Because I am generally very busy in my daily life, these three venues are about all I can handle (and sometimes more than I have time for). I find, then, that I have nothing left to tweet!

Additionally, I've found that I've got a ton of drive-by followers arriving with their porn links. It's funny to me, yet it's also a nuisance to "block" each individual one.

If you're a college student or busy working parent (just for example) and need or want to keep in frequent touch with others, it's really hard to beat Twitter's functionality via platforms!
