After much contemplation, I have decided to join the social
networking tool I swore I would never use. It is official I am a
twitter or am I am tweeter?...oh whatever you know what I mean! I have
just been on 7 days and am still very overwhelmed by it all. You have
people who say things just to invoke shock, those who literally tell
you their every move and those who converse with just one person but
instead of texting privately go back and forth in a forum the world
can see. And, how in the world do they expect me to convey a complete
thought in just 160 characters that is nearly impossible for any good
communicator!
I am still not completely sold on it usefulness as it seems to be more
of a deterrent from caring on with things in life that could be
considered productive. However, I have enjoyed reading some NFL
Players bantering with one another and the continuous updates about
the looming lockout.
As I type I have 109 followers and have tweeted 15 times. After doing
some research my competitive spirit got he best of me and I decided I
needed to set a follower goal. I see President Obama has 6 million
followers and Oprah is right behind with 5 million. Not wanting to set
such a lofty goal I have settled on trying to surpass the infamous
‘Usain Bolt’ in followers. I figure since I cant compete with him on
the track why not challenge his 81,000 followers. I do realize that he
as an advantage as he probably literally has a whole country following
him however I think I can take him. If for some reason I fail at this
my secondary goal would be to always have more followers than my
mother (@blondimomma) who coincidentally joined twitter the same day
as me.
I have given myself 2 simple guidelines so as not to get sucked into
the world of unproductiveness cause by becoming consumed with this
apparatus.
-No more than 3 tweets a day
-I will not follow more people than I have followers.
Coming up with a name was the hardest part as all the cool names I
came up with had been taken. So I am simply @laurynCwilliams. Follow
me :-)=
