Twitter

Twitter.

I'm opposed to Twitter, I really don't like it, and have managed to avoid or flat out refuse, to use Twitter until this task in 23 things.

I think it's an annoying soapbox for people, and while I understand it's a great way to get information out to the public fast, it still bugs me.

Plus you can only make posts of a 140 characters, and as you will have been able to tell, I ramble a lot. 140 characters is wee bit limiting for me.

But, for 23 things only, and once as I do this task I'm deleting the blasted account, I joined Twitter. If there isn't any easy way to delete an account from Twitter I am going to be so far from being impressed it will be ridiculous.

Ok. So. Twitter. The basics are : you can make posts of up to 140 characters long. You can include photos or links to music or pretty mucah anything. You can make a specific post aimed at somebody by doing an '@' sign followed by their name or username.

You can put in tags that will lead to other similar subjects - or comes under the same subject on Twitter.

I still think Twitter is weird, although following Ellen on Twitter is sort of cool because I adore Ellen. Despite this - I am still deleting the account.

It's a great medium to keep in touch with people and keeping people informed, but I don't think it's my sort of thing.

Gotta run.
