my twitter experiment

A week ago I started twittering, set up my phone to twitter and even set up twitpic. It's not something I'll soon become addicted to, that's for sure.

Here's why:
  • There's hardly any interaction on Twitter. Maybe my contact list is too small. Maybe the people who are my contacts don't respond to tweets. But it's a little too monologue-ish for me...if this is indeed social networking media.
  • Not enough of my friends are twittering and not enough of them twitter consistently enough to keep me coming back for more updates.
  • Too much of what's on Twitter is on Facebook. I'm reading stuff twice.
Here's why I will continue twittering:
  • My main purpose in twittering was to chronicle this twin pregnancy. I've been terrible at journaling. This way, I can journal as I go, no matter where I am and it's forever recorded.
  • It's interesting to follow some of the people I don't know.
  • If I stick it out, maybe more and more of my friends will join and make it interesting.
Follow me on Twitter!

Stick with it! :) It took me a few weeks to like it also. I saw recently that 60% of people who start, stop Twitter after less than a month. That's not enough time to make connections. Maybe search for moms of twins. You'll automatically have a connection!

Hi there Delina!

You may want to do a Twitter search and find other moms of twins on Twitter and start linking to them! Twitter has a search engine!

I am on Twitter but I rarely use it. I am shocked that 200+ folks are following me when I never say anything!! *LOL*
