Trying out Twitter

Looking for something interesting to add to my online presence, I decided to try out Twitter. I’m not really sure why I haven’t tried it out until now.

Apparently, fewer than 40% of people stay on Twitter after they start using it – a phenomenon so prevalent that it even has a name: “Twitter Quitter.” I don’t really like the idea of abandoning a social network after I join, so maybe that’s why I haven’t jumped in before. Also, most everyone I know is on Facebook, and I really can’t stand the idea of updating multiple accounts. So I’m not sure exactly why I have decided to try it out now, either.

I installed Twitter Tools to tie this website in with Twitter, so hopefully when I post here it’ll show up there, too. This complements the functionality of WordBook for Facebook integration.

Alas, I am on Twitter, for now. So if you are too, go ahead and add me.
