It lay dormant - I just couldn&#39;t see it replacing blogging. I&#39;m not a concise person. I waffle. <BR/>Then, in July, I met a colleague who asked whether I twittered or not. He persuaded me to have another go. <BR/>THen I went to a conference in September 08, and it made a bit more sense. <BR/>It all fitted in November - mostly when I was at another conference where it was used as a back channel. Once I saw its potential for that, I then saw its potential for other things. <BR/><BR/>I&#39;m still pretty low key really compared to many - it&#39;s balancing time spent reading twitter &amp; other feeds. <BR/><BR/>Still like the longer space I have to blog. <BR/>(Hey, the &quot;word verification word&quot; happens to be the Tok Pisin [PNG Pidgin English] for &quot;talking place&quot; - How appropriate. :)Emmahttp://userweb.port.ac.uk/~duke-wie/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956725759027546629.post-34342227648916783012009-04-01T20:01:00.000-04:002009-04-01T20:01:00.000-04:00Mike, I saw your post about the 3/31 blog entry on Facebook as I was responding to a friend request. It struck me that I never go to Facebook so I would have missed your post and the interesting comments. I enjoyed your description of your phases of Twitter use. I'm still struggling with getting to Twitter at all on most days. Keep posting and adding to these thoughts; you are raising some good questions.Cathy Wolinskyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10745700180643214263noreply@blogger.com
