Twitter

I kept hearing about it everywhere. Twitter this and Twitter that and kept wondering what all the fuss was about. So because I was bored I decided it was time to give Twitter a try. First I downloaded the free app on my Iphone and then learned you must register online on your computer. So, I did that step and what I then learned was finding a user name is quite difficult because most names have already been taken. I guess I didn’t think Eddie_B, Ed_B, Edwin_B would be taken so I had to settle for Eddie_Bash.

After finding a user name I had to find some friends to follow and then I decided it was time to follow some celebrities. Now the hard part with this step is figuring out if this is the real celebrity or some one pretending to be. Luckily when celebrities share their user name on the TV it makes that decision real easy. So far I am following Dennis Rodman, Shaq, Kevin Love (MN T-Wolves), Britney Spears and ESPT PTI show. Of course I have a couple close friends but I am also learning no too many people are choosing to enroll in Twitter. At least the people I know.

Other aspects of Twitter I am learning about is that random people can decide to “follow” you. This part can be tricky. Because when someone decides to follow you, if you want to block them you must go online because that option is not available on the free Twitter Iphone app. So in my first 2 weeks of Twitter I have had to block about 10 “weird” people from following me.

Last, I am trying my best to recruit people to this social networking device. I have been on my sister who recruited me to start Facebook to get on Twitter. I mean if you have an Iphone there would be no reason why you wouldn’t be on Twitter. Come on it is a FREE download. As time goes on, life becomes more hectic and hard to keep up on these channels. I mean now I am Blogging, Facebook and Twitter. As you all know my Blogging has fallen behind and time limits my flexibility to Blog, Facebook and Tweet. So I hope many of you will now begin to Tweet, and as Conan O’brien does we can all have a Twitter Tracker!!!
