@mrsantonioplus Newbie to the Twittersphere

@mrsantonioplus

I think my head is spinning!  Joining Twitter is quite an experience.  It's like first joining the txt world, way back when, and figuring out formatting and abbreviations.  I have found to be very helpful with Twitter talk.  I think it will take me a while to get some of it, but with everything finally set up on my computer and phone, I am hoping it will get easier.  I was very excited that creating a widget for my blog was extremely easy using the widget function under settings.

TBH, I really didn't want to Twitter.  I have been dreading this.  I didn't want to add one more thing to keep track of, but with the Deck I can see what's going on pretty easily.  I think the reading this week convinced me that having an account was worth it.  I didn't realize how many ways Twitter was effectively being used as an education tool.  From reminders to gathering information to finding places to sharing answers to storytelling; it's amazing.

I am in the gathering stage of Twitter.  I have been able to find many resources and people to connect with.  As I watch and read what is happening, I look forward to finding my niche in interacting and collaborating.  I feel like I have spent a lot of time, maybe too much time, trying to figure out as much as possible before I go back to work tomorrow...
