Tweet Tweet!

I never really understood what Twitter was until I got here. Basically, it’s a website made up entirely of just facebook-style status updates.

But it’s also a bit more than that. In essence, as far as I’ve discovered so far, it’s much like sending a massive text to people who care (they’re called “followers”) all at once.

So while we’re in all these sessions at Poynter, people are literally “tweeting” non-stop. Which, I guess, is good – they have people back home who wish they could be here, and by following those on Twitter who actually are, they get somewhat of a taste.

It’s definitely going to take some time for me to get used to, though. But it helps being able to Tweet from my BlackBerry.
