Twitter Bug

So I've been at it now on Twitter since March 10.  I'm hooked.  Here are some things I've noticed about Twitter:

• The world is even smaller than it was with blogging.
• I can keep up with what's happening with friends (I'd love more friends on it).
• Instant networking and communication with my fellow worship leading buddies.
• My wife knows what's going on in my world...instantly...this one freaks me out a bit.

I've utilized the nifty Twitpic feature which allows me to upload photos taken from my cell phone.  Why would I do that?  I have no idea.  But what I do know is that every time I post a photo there are at least 15-20 people (sometimes more) clicking away to see the snapshots.  Glad you 15 or so people care enough to see what I'm eating for lunch.  For those who follow the BabuLife blog, you can see my Twitter updates on the right side bar along with my two most recent snapshots from Twitpic.  You can comment on photos (be nice please).

One warning to those of you considering adding Twitter to your internet life.  If you're a person who holds highly the value of Facebook Friendships, blog stats or anything similar, be ready for some disappointment.   When someone follows you, don't hold it personally when that person elects to click the "remove" button.  Figure out why you want to join Twitter, who you want to see following you, and what you want to twitter about.  I've discovered the same taboos in one on one conversation apply to Twitter as well. 

Overall I've found this to be another great way to simply network, inform and communicate to those who care enough to pay attention to what I have to say...not like a blog...but instant communication.  Interested in getting yours started?  Get your own and follow me!
