Well, it's official. I'm Twittering. Or Tweeting. Or Tooting? I'm still trying to get the terminology thing down. Seeing as Twitter has been around for two years now, you'd think I'd be up on this stuff. But as you know, I like to jump on things at the caboose of their social significance. This explains why I started blogging at 26, Social Networking at 27. And now Twittering, just shy of 28. I haven't bothered with Facebook yet because it is still so popular.
For those of you who are not familiar with Twitter, it's essentially a micro-blog. People "tweet" about links they stumble across, events that are happening in real time, or just funny ruminations that occur to them while they're supposed to be doing other things, like working (expect a lot of that). What attracted me to Twitter is that I can disseminate little quips and thoughts quickly and easily. Things have been so hectic at work that it's been very hard to construct a coherent sentence, let alone the poignant, eloquent, expertly-crafted entries you're used to (hah). But I still have so much to share! So please, let me share with you in a way that is less inconvenient for me.
IMPORTANT: I will still post blogs. About as often as I do now, which is...not...very...often. This Twitter business is just a bonus! So don't get wistful or start writing hate mail. If you're even remotely interested in this blog, this is great news.
To follow, you'll have to sign up for Twitter, but you can do so pretty anonymously. Just use some generic avatar like StephLover1 or WorshipSteph or WannaBSteph and you'll blend right into the masses on Twitter (NOTE: no one is following my account. You all are the first to know I'm a Twit. You're welcome.) And then you'll be able to see whenever I have a funny thought or find a funny website or smell something funny. How fun is that?
Just click here to see my Twitter (really, really perverted sounding.) And follow me. It's that easy!
It's all the snark in smaller, more digestible doses. Plus you can reply to my Tweets. This will be great for the two of you who currently comment on this blog. Yay interaction!
This move might come as a surprise to all of you. I admit that for awhile now, I've been rolling my eyes at the whole Twitter thing. I mean, how self-important are you to think that people want to know your random, worthless thoughts throughout the day?
THIS self-important.
Hope to see you all there.

hey steph,
you can also add a twitter feed to your blog, so in between posts, we can follow your every thought without checking twitter, literally making StephInfection our homepage. ; )
You can see an example of this at http://clevelandfoodie.blogspot.com/
(also a great blog)
