Twitter: Ok, I Give In

Share via Twitter Share via Facebook Share via Linkedin Share via Reddit

So the latest service to take James’ notion of Declarative Living to its logical if highly unnecessary conclusion is Twitter. Essentially a sort of presence-enabled real-time microblog, it’s become quite popular amongst the digital elite. In my defense, while I subscribed early as is my custom to secure my traditional ‘sogrady’ login, I held off on actually using the service for weeks. Maybe even months, I can’t remember when it launched.

But the peer pressure was finally more than I could bear, and I’m now officially a Twitter user.

So if, like me, you’re reluctantly – or even not so reluctantly – documenting your whereabouts and current state of mind even more obsessively than you used to, I can be found here. If you’re not, but still desperately interested in such information, I advise you to either a.) seek professional help or b.) hit my homepage and scroll down a bit. I’m not as cool as DeWitt, but I am lazy.

I’d vaguely heard of Twitter – mainly because it was one of the options on my Mugshot profile – but I hadn’t looked into it yet. The idea is that you simply, and regularly, post the answer to the question “what are you doing?”. […]

  5. […] been observing how it has evolved, I am actually finding out how a good amount of the folks that I normally follow through their own weblogs have also started twittering or are on the verge of trying it out […]
