All About Twitter...

Interesting conversation on Facebook about Twitter and now I'm blogging about it. The circularity of social media!

Christine Yount Jones Will Twitter be short-lived? Is anyone else struck by the fact that it's primarily one-way communication?

Courtney Fassler Walsh at 2:21pm May 18I hate it. Lol.

Adam Walsh at 2:23pm May 18Twitter was short-lilved with me. I figured not that many people were interested in "Adam's texting while driving", or "Adam is watching a dance recital". I mean, who cares, really? It's just the status update from Facebook...:)

Christine Yount Jones at 2:23pm May 18 Thank you for that comment! i get almost nothing from folks on Twitter. I find Facebook so miuch more satisfying. What does that say about me?
 
Adam Walsh at 2:26pm May 18 That you're needy like the rest of us. ;)
 
Ray Tollison at 2:42pm May 18 Hey CYJ, I do most of my online conversating (hmm is that a word, I need an editor) on twitter. I spend more time on twitter and get a lot more useful info there than I do from FB! But hey that is just me!
 
Ali 'bennett' Thompson at 3:07pm May 18 Ray - "conversing" (editor at your service!) :)
 
Ray Tollison at 3:21pm May 18 Thanks Ali! I kind of like conversating though?:)
 
 Henry Zonio at 3:23pm May 18 If you see Twitter as just a status update, then there will be no conversations... Twitter is more marketing. You get what you put into it and who you follow. It's like walking into a cocktail party, one person put it. What would be your "line"? Then jump in and converse with others. As you do that, you make connections. It becomes a gateway to meeting new ppl, networking with them and contributing to a greater audience. Another person put it this way... FB is about keeping up with ppl you already know, and Twitter is about meeting people who you will get to know.
 
Christine Yount Jones at 3:23pm May 18 You're right, Ray...Twitter is good for learning things from really sharp people...it's just not a conversation, per se.
 
Henry Zonio at 3:24pm May 18 it's a different kind of conversation :)
 
Christine Yount Jones at 3:26pm May 18 A conversation in 150 words or less! I think it's interesting when people say FB is so yesterday. I wonder if FB and Twitter meet entirely different needs. Not sure I could leave FB and only do Twitter, but I am getting exposure to some new people on Twitter.
 
Ray Tollison at 3:26pm May 18 Henry, well put!
 
 Ali 'bennett' Thompson at 4:41pm May 18 Ray: Conversating does sound more fun. :) Also, I like Myspace the best of all. I'm sad so little goes on there anymore, because I felt like I could really express myself there in picture, song, and writing. It's like it's fading away, and that saddens me.
 
Laurie McCormick Copley at 5:52pm May 18 Check out this "real life twitter" on you tube...says it all :-> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTN9We8unmU
