Twitter

12 10 2008

I have never really understood why people Twitter. You may be surprised, but I don’t care if you are going to the store or are about to eat a bran muffin or just finished eating a bran muffin. Knowing the triviality and mundane of others lives just is not up my alley.

So, for a long time, I’ve been averse to the idea of getting a Twitter account. However, in an attempt to simplify my life, I’ve decided that Twitter is the best way to continue to share ideas. Unlike blogging, where I have to commit to sit down and write out a post, I can give quick little insights and current thoughts. (Much of this realization came from John Maeda and his switch to Twitter).

So, while I plan to continue to blog here every now and then, most of my ideas and thinkings will be coming to you live from Twitter (follow me here).
