I finally succumb to Twitter

Ever since I first found out what Twitter was it sounded right up my street.  My friends have got used to me occasionally sending random texts about bizarre things that have happened during my day, so now Twitter lets me do it for the benefit (or not) of a few more people.  As one of my friends who recently joined Twitter said, “this does look like a cut down facebook, but then again my fav bit of facebook”, and that’s just where I am.  I can get loads of entertainment from people’s Facebook status updates, but I never get around to doing it very often.

So lets see how this goes, as my blog goes through fits and starts in term of how regular I update it.  I wouldn’t say I am a technophobe, but if something looks a bit scary then it takes me a while to start using it, even though with blogging I was one of the early adopters.  All these @ and # symbols with Twitter just scared me off a bit to start with as I didn’t understand them, but now I’ve got a vague grasp of what they are about and realised that I don’t actually need to bother with them, then it should be fine.  I also thought it would never work with my phone, but now I know I can text it will be fine, I just won’t really reply to anyone until I eventually replace my handset in the coming year.

So you can read my Twitters on the right hand column of this blog, or through http://twitter.com/andershanson.  Thank you to Andi and Charlotte, who probably didn’t realise that it was comments by both of them who finally persuaded me to take the plunge.
