[Bill The Baptist]

My Baptist history professor once said "I knew if I ignored Powerpoint long enough, it would go away." I'm hoping the same is true of Twitter.

[irresistible_grace]

I have a twitter account but rarely tweet because I don't quite understand the point of twitter (to be completely honest).

Mine's in my sig. Depending on whom you follow, you can get some great encouragement or timely information. I'll follow you.

Just out of curiousity, what is your aversion to Twitter?

I don't know what Bill's aversion would be, but I can state mine: lack of time and desire to avoid distraction.

It's hard enough for me to keep up with a daily dose of 30-50 voicemails, 100+ emails, face-to-face meetings, etc. I could not even contemplate opening up and sorting through a new message portal.

 

[Somerset]

My shop tweets - so if anyone has a burning desire to learn more about lentils etc

Perhaps I am just too old, but I just don't get the purpose of it. The minutiae of my life is just not that interesting.

if someone was solely posting the minutiae of their life, then'd id probably agree with you. The Christians I follow mostly post encouraging quotes/thoughts. I also follow several news outlets for information.

It's really one of the best sources today for breaking news. The plane crash a few months was all over Twitter for nearly an hour before any traditional media began to cover it. Same with most events with bystanders---people post pics to Twitter as it happens.

Perhaps I will have to consider emerging from my dark cave and embracing technology. In all seriousness though, I have no doubt that it can be used for many good purposes, but I don't even have a smart phone yet.

 

[jawyman]

I'm on Twitter, though I don't tweet much. I retweet a bit and follow mostly theology, linguistics, academics, and politics.

My name is: @jeffreywyman

lack of time and desire to avoid distraction.

To which I would add that the government has enough access to my life.

 

[jandrusk]

Mine is located in my sig as well.

 

[Pergamum]

I'll leave tweeting for the birds.

I found that post helpful.

Part of the fun of Twitter is the challenge of expressing yourself in only 140 characters - including spaces and punctuation.

 

[Ryan Grooms]

I am: www.twitter.com/ryanlgrooms

Grace and peace.

 

[JM]

Twitter has been fun and challenging. It has caused me to focus my thoughts and bring them together into sentence instead of rambling paragraphs.
