Twittering?

I'm not going to join Twitter. And here's why. Umm...okay, I am going to join Twitter. And here's why. Well...I really don't want to join Twitter, but I'm really very very curious as to what it's like. Okay, fine. I'll give in and join. But I won't promise to like it. Or even use it very often.

I really don't need more technology in my life, at least not my private life. My work life could use some more technology sometimes. I think we're going to get a video camera that we can use to post short videos to our website. That will be fun! Hopefully it will also be useful and impactful in our ability to reach audiences we otherwise might not reach. Apparently the newspaper here is close to going bankrupt, which would pretty effectively cut back on a lot of the easy, cheap marketing and good press we get. Ouch.

Anyway, I really prefer blogging, even though I've been pretty lax about intelligent, thoughtful posts this fall. I blame it on the wedding. (Notice how I've lapsed into Kansas-speech regarding seasons. It probably qualifies as winter now though, since we've had a day where the high temperature doesn't get above freezing.) "Tweeting" on Twitter seems so...juvenile. Less thoughtful. I really don't need the additional temptation to distraction at work. But we'll give it a try. Chances are it will become what Facebook is...an interesting tool, but something I only check infrequently or when someone harasses me.
