Circadian

Twitter seemed a little odd when it first came out. I tried it then and failed. Tried again a couple months later and still didn’t get it.

Now, third time seems to be the charm. I’ve found some uses for the darned program after all.

First, Twitter seems unintentionally designed for comedy. The 140-character one-liner. The setup tweet, followed by the punch-line tweet. While blogging is more of a monologue, Twitter is perfect for the quick one-two punch.

Second, with the number of famous people who seem to have really come to love Twitter, it’s yet another way to connect with people that you are interested in. Sure, there are some who use it as yet another marketing tool, but the ones who are really successful are the ones who use it like the rest of us do.

Finally, yes, it can be a great advertising tool. We’re planning travel, so I’m following airlines. Sure, it won’t last, but they’ve got me for the short term.
