In the interests of staying true to the idea of lifelong learning, I've jumped around to the last task on the 23 Things list, Twitter. I'd heard of it, of course, but over the weekend I spent some time with a friend who, as it turns out, is a Twitter addict (or as I called her, a Twatter). And so I decided to investigate it for myself.
As it turns out, I can now receive Twits from the highly delicious Nathan Fillion. I can even pretend it's vaguely related to work (I'm learning a new technology, as instructed). But I still can't quite figure out what it's for. If I'm deluded enough I guess I could pretend I'm now Nathan's true friend, getting to know him as a person. 140 characters at a time, of course. I wonder what the math is on how long it takes before you actually know someone via Twitter?
Oh Anne, that's a deep philosophical discussion you have raised. When do we truly know when we know someone? *wink*
ReplyDeleteYes, I've joined the ranks of Twitter not long ago too. What is it for? Disseminating information, so yes so relevant for your work. Information can include - go to my blog, what I'm doing right now, here's an interesting link and of course replying to others who are also disseminating information (about those listed before) and so forth. Be careful it can become addictive....
