The Dangers of Twitter!

Over Christmas my wife and I visited my father in San Diego, CA. Several members of my dad’s side of the family were there, and one day we had a discussion about being “wired.” What does that exactly mean? Well, how fast would a person respond after any form of electronic communication were to be sent.

We decided, that hands down, my father was the most wired. One evening my wife and I stayed in the car while my father ran into a grocery store to pick up something quickly. I made a tweet about our trip to Barnes & Nobel, and how I spend so much money there. By the time my father came back to the car three minutes later, he commented to me about my tweet. He had set up that all my tweets are sent to his phone. I laughed and told him he definitely was the most wired.

Alright, I’m going to have to join the ranks of twitter users and say that I like twitter. I’m actually pretty shocked because I didn’t think I would enjoy keeping it up to date. However, its nice to use to keep tabs on my friends, co-workers, and even respected programmers in fields I study/work in.

The secret to twitter, I believe, is that it is very opt-in. You choose how much you want to do it. I was worried I would feel forced to keep it up-to-date, but it isn’t that hard. I only “tweet” semi-big things that I do, things that are interesting and someone might be interested in, but doesn’t warrant a blog post. This way I can help people find what I find on the net easily and without any hassle.
