Over the weekend I got together with some friends for a
friendly game of Texas hold'em. We do this every few months, mostly as an
excuse to get together and catch up. My
friend Tim works in the IT field and I met him a few years ago. Over this time
we've had more than our fair share of arguments, from OS's to Anti-virus programs. After one of our
scrimmages, I realized that I love arguing with Tim, So, I grabbed my phone and
quickly pulled up my twitter account and asked Tim for his handle. He looked at
me oddly and laughed, his response was "Who is going to follow me?",
"I'm going to my room." as he air types as if to be tweeting. It
reminds me of the Verizon commercial where the dad is updating his twitter from
the porch.
Now, Fast-forward to Wednesday, I was working on a lab with
some fellow interns. We were talking about the Raspberry Pi and the Linux OS,
somehow I ended up mentioning the
Anonymous Linux OS and peoples comments on twitter, one of the co-workers
giggled. I asked him if he had a twitter account and he replied, "No, what
for? I'm going to the kitchen!", was his response. I explained that it is a lot more than just
that. You can follow tech news better than any publication ever could, your basically
on the cutting edge. That's when I realized that the person laughing should of
been me and that I love living on the cutting edge and twitter allows me to do
so.
People need forget what they have heard about twitter and
try it. Who knows, you may find that it has a lot more to offer then you have
been lead to believe, at least that is what I have found. In fact twitter is
more like this AT&T commercial, So 10 seconds ago...
