Well, this Thing has finally prompted me to do what I never thought I would--sign up for twitter. I'm not sure why I've been so against it, but I guess I suspect people's updates are too numerous and not very exciting or relevant (okay, boring). I'm happy with facebook, but will twitter add anything to the experience? On the other hand, since everyone seems to be doing it and I'm constantly hearing about it, I figured I'd better jump on the bandwagon and at least try it out. It was easy to set up an account. I picked one celebrity to follow and added the only person in my email address book who has an account (really? only one? isn't everyone doing this?). I also added Regions hospital, but couldn't find the Regions medical library. I'll try again later. I then went in and tried to add my photo, but couldn't get it to upload. I was able to add a bio and my location. I was surprised to get one follower almost instantly but was a little disappointed to see it was someone I didn't know who was "looking for that someone special". Ugh. Weird. No tweets from me yet, but I will try once I get a real follower. I'll also try to add some local businesses that I shop at to see if they tweet any coupons, etc.
I spent about 1 hour on this Thing, although it would be easy to spend much more by searching for people to add, learning all the terminology, apps, etc.
