Last week, I was down in Auckland visiting my daughter, who has an IPhone and a Twitter account. I plucked up the courage to ask her to show me how Twitter worked. I set up an account and have made a start.
I've never gone in for Facebook. I like Twitter for all the reasons it's different to Facebook. I don't mean to put Facebook down; it's just a personal preference thing. I like the fact that Twitter is public and goes out to everyone. And I like the fact that people can choose to follow you or not as they please. You start tweeting, people read what you say and then decide on that basis whether to follow you. I just say things that interest me and people can come and go as they please.
The other thing I like about Twitter is that you only get 160 characters to say your bit. I'm always thinking about things and need a place to put my thoughts down. They are just ideas that have come to me, which I wouldn't necessarily write a whole blog about.
Steve has set up a stream of my tweets down the side of my blog here. So you can read my notebook of thoughts as you wish. Suffice to say, they are all potential blog entries, but I don't have the time to write them all up.
