Twitter After Time
Twitter to me has been an experience. First off I never really wanted to Twitter. I only saw Twitter as a way to update others on my life, which isn't all that exciting and I couldn't figure out why anyone would really care about what I ate for lunch or what I was doing on a Thursday night. However, some of my views of Twitter have changed. First off I realize that it's not just for creating a storyline of my life. I don't have to post every twenty minutes what I'm up to. Second I didn't think I wanted to follow other people's lives that closely either. But now I know that Twitter is for more than just that. I found out that I can search to follow items of interest to me. I enjoy personally following ESPN and getting updates on the sports world. I also can follow educational websites such as EdWeek, Discovery Educator and TopEdTweets to stay up to date on educational news. Once I found these people to follow I warmed up to the idea of Twitter. I'm still not completely hooked I refuse to put it on my phone as I'm just not ready to submerse myself that deeply into the Twitter lifestyle. However, I have gotten my feet wet and maybe someday I will find a reason to dive in. Until now I will keep searching until I do.

I went through the same process as I started to use Twitter. I find I rarely add much except to retweet something interesting from someone else. I do find it useful to follow a few "experts" in the field to see what they are posting. It replaces much of the blog reading I used to do. I do have it on my iPhone, but I rarely use it unless I'm stuck somewhere with no book and nothing to do.
