Get with the times! You don’t TWEET? What’s wrong with you? OMG…you HAVE to start tweeting. That seems to be a conversation that I’m having a lot these days. Are you in the same boat? Is it just me, or is this pressure to tweet similar to the facebook pressure of a few years ago? Remember when you’d run into people you hadn’t seen in a long time, you’d chat, talk about what you’d been up to….upon leaving say, ‘are you on facebook? just facebook me, we’ll facebook and then we can be facebook friends..yeah! Then we can REALLY catch up! On facebook!’. And if they WEREN’T on facebook, it was like, ‘oh. Ok, well, then uhmmmm…see you sometime in the next ten 10 years!’ There are still a lot of people who don’t DO facebook. I get it, it’s time consuming, it’s distracting, it creates nosiness, insecurities,..all kinds of great stuff. But you have to admit, it’s weird when someone is not on facebook. Like, how do you communicate? What do you do with your spare time? Sad but true. But this tweeting. punch in TWEETING’ for points. Now IT’S the thing everybody is doing. The problem is, for a lot of people, like me..it’s confusing. It’s a whole new concept of communication that still only sort of makes sense. ‘You follow people? They follow you? Follow what? Just anything? My handle? Love handles? It took forever to get what #hash tagging was for. That’s right up there with ‘offside’ in hockey for me. The who-sy what-sy and the where with the hashtag? Ok, I’ll try and go along. Because EVERYBODY is on twitter now! My 64 year old step mom is on twitter. My friend is a teacher…she has 76 followers! So, I guess this is what I have to do. I guess that’s all for this blog. Maybe it wasn’t that interesting, but it HAS to be more interesting than me tweeting about how I am ‘reaching for the peanut butter’ or ‘on my way to clean the bathroom!’
Cheers ladies and gents xox
