Thing 19 - Twitter

Feel like we're finally on the home stretch... thing 19.

Twitter was something I really wanted to investigate and see if it would convert me to being a user.
I have really only thought about it as a celebrity following thing, and really couldn't care what they ate for lunch.
But I was ready to be convinced otherwise.

I read through most of the links, including the twitter user guide book, how to avoid being a twanker. I took a look at the ACU and National Library tweets too.

I can really see the value of these tweets for patrons/students, they are like little bite sized chunks of information. Even for companies that people follow, new car being released on the market etc.

It hasn't yet converted me, because honestly I struggle to reply to emails and text messages some days. I don't think as yet I have anything worth tweeting besides what I ate for breakfast, or what the kids are doing.
Sending personal things out in public still bothers me a bit. I know there is DM, but isn't that what a text is for?

Overall, I can see the value of tweeting it's just not for me at the moment.
