Riding on the cutting edge of technology...while trying not to bleed too much

COLD-CASE-large.jpgOK, so I've decided to check out this new-fangled Twitter thing. I have no real idea what it's about...or even if it's something that has any prospect of lasting utility for me. Still, it's what the kids are doing, so I thought I oughta give it a shot, right? What the heck, I thought; perhaps there are people out there who might really care about what I'm doing.

Full disclosure: I actually signed up for a Twitter account a few months ago, but have done nothing with it until yesterday. Hey, I was home for a second day trying to deal with an extended visit from the Migraine Fairy, and a 140-character maximum was about as much as I could reasonably be expected to process.

I was immediately struck by how viral Twitter is. When I began the day yesterday, I had 22 followers. Without a whole lot of effort on my part, I was up to 152 by the time I went to bed and 180 when I woke up this morning. Come on...there can't be 180 people interested in the fact that my boxers are riding up my butt...can there??

I still don't know what- if anything- I'm going to do with Twitter. It may turn out to be just another passing fad that I eventually lose interest in. Or I might just figure out how to put it to good use...though at the moment that seems a bit of a stretch. Hey, if nothing else, I have a new way to promote WWJD, no? Just another step in my continuing drive toward total world domination...'cuz really, no one really wants to know about my underwear...do they??
