There’s something in the Twitair
This week, I've noticed that a number of my tweeps haven't been updating as much — sometimes much to their dismay and in other cases not so much.
I too have slowed my Twittering pace — in part because I've been busy just livin' my life and in part because my Facebook profile was starting to look overbearing with all my hourly tweets — especially after the redesign, which clumps pretty much everything but status updates and wall posts together in big "recent activity" blocks.
Then yesterday, I watched one of the videos making its way around the InterWebs lately, "Twouble with Twitters:"
Now, I won't be bringin' the "omg i'm soo deleting my facebook right now" game to Twitter anytime soon. The site is hella useful when it comes to getting score updates from @statepresssport when I'm not near a TV or radio... like during chur— I mean, what? Anyway, also, @THE_REAL_SHAQ's random acts of Shaqness pretty much make my day.
But "Twouble with Twitters" reminded me of what my friend Ryan said at dinner/Bible study on Monday night about how relationships with other people — like in person, irl, omg — are supremely important but often fall to the wayside in favor of technological fluff and what may indeed be a generational attention deficit.
Anyway, even though I've always been a fan of mass communicating to everyone and no one in particular all at once, I've realized that it's high time for me to work on how I interact with people on an individual level. So if all goes according to plan, you can expect to see more words directed from me to you rather than from me to all y'all in the days ahead — even if it's just me writing on your Facebook wall about poop. Baby steps, right?
