I don’t text, therefore I don’t tweet. Maybe if Descartes were alive today he might say something like that. I just never saw the point of Twitter – heck I’m probably past the 140 character limit already and I haven’t really said anything. So what am I doing on Twitter? I probably still don’t “get it,” but I think I see how it might be useful.<\/p>\n
I come across interesting things that relate to wine all the time. News, blogs, talking to people, or what have you. It’s an interesting world and by paying attention I end up with a lot of scribbled notes, bookmarks, and half-remembered conversations. If I have enough\u00a0 time, interest, and knowledge some of this turns into blog posts. The rest? Well I can’t just say, “here’s a link that might lead to something.” What kind of a post would that be?<\/p>\n
Then it hit me. It wouldn’t be a post at all – it would be a tweet!<\/p>\n
That got me thinking about twitter some more, and I realized it could complement my blog feed. Anyone can subscribe to the feed<\/a>. It’s easy, it’s free and it automatically notifies you every time there’s a new post. There’s even a separate feed for comments<\/a>. No need to check back manually to see if there’s a new post or if someone responded to your comment. But sometimes I update old posts as I learn more about the topic, and there’s no good way for people to monitor that.<\/p>\n Unless maybe I tweeted about it.<\/p>\n So I’ve experimenting with twitter, and I think it might be useful. You can click here to follow me on twitter<\/a> to find out about new posts, updates to old posts, and links that might be interesting. In the meantime, I’ll try to find a good profile picture. And maybe figure out what all those numbers and abbreviations mean!<\/p>\n More than you wanted to know about the psychology of Twitter ~ Twitter: 10 Psychological Insights<\/a><\/p>\nMore about twitter<\/h2>\n
