Good stuff about twitter, I checked some of them out and will follow them. But I also want to say that lately it seems that I have let my cell phone get the best of me. I have been APPed to death with so many applications to download and view its easy to get caught up on technology and let it drive your life. Just saying.
ReplyDeleteHey Josue,
ReplyDeleteVery interesting post about twitter and I agree it can be a very beneficial and informative tool when used correctly. Also in reference to Joe's comment above I totally agree! I am pretty APP'd out too and trying my best to to be so attached to my gadgets.
Twitter is an interesting thing no doubt depending on how you use it. Although I do have a personal account, it is convoluted with sports, musicians, celebrities, and a few political figures. It gets kind of annoying to pay attention to or monitor it at times, but I've been thinking about making separate accounts in order to segregate my competing interests.
