Tweeting The Night Away

Well I heard so much about Twitter

That it was getting too hard to omitter

So I decided that I would check it out.

Now I have never been known as a quitter

But I must admit my nerves were a jitter

Because I had heard that Twitter carried clout.

You post a message that is called a Tweet.

The trick is to keep it short and sweet.

So be clever with what you have to say.

You can follow your favorite interests, how neat.

For getting the latest info this site is hard to beat.

Now I enjoy Tweeting the night away.

Twitter is social networking service where members answer the question ‘What are you doing?’ A Tweet can be up to 140 characters so it is not a site to post a written article but it is a good site to post a tidbit. For example, if I were a famous poet I could not post my poetry on Twitter, however, I could post a Tweet about where my next poem is to be published so my adoring fans could find it.

There is more to Twitter than just a place for famous people to post tidbits for their fans. You can follow topics of interest such as news, politics, sports, entertainment, public safety or just about any topic of interest through Twitter. Simply find the topics or persons that you are interest in, click follow and you will receive their updates. Think of Twitter as a traffic cop where Tweets from all the people you are following are gathered in one spot. The people that you are following can provide links that will take you directly to a website or blog if you want to investigate further.

Twitter is a good site to post a Tweet about your thoughts and opinions too. If you are passionate about a particular subject Twitter is a good tool to help you get the word out.

Twitter is also a good site for ‘if you look at mine then I will look at yours type posts’. Get you mind out of the gutter. I am referring to websites. If you have a personal website Twitter can be another tool to generate traffic to your website. You can post a catchy phrase or snappy headline in your Tweet to create interest and a link to your site. In return you can look at websites from you friends profiles.

Although I must admit that I did consider

Reflecting about this review while sitting on a $@*#!%#.

There you go again with your mind in the gutter. I was referring to a critter, like horseback riding. Here I am thinking about enjoying the wide open spaces and some of you have your minds in the outhouse.

Since my primary thought emitter

Now includes thinking about Twitter

I like to take a sheet

So I can work on my tweet.

I said sheet, like a piece of paper. I like to keep something handy to write on whenever I get a thought. Give me a break.
