I wrote this what seems like ages ago. So, this is how I used
to feel about Twitter, then we will take a look how I feel now.
OK. My friends will know I’m not so techno Fi and I get
excited because I can make my iPod play music… Well, Twitter? I’m either more
stupid than I think or those who use it are twits? As I really don’t get it. It’s
like passing by a room at the office and half hearing a conversation. Sometimes
conversations that really are rather disturbing? So, I have a few followers,
not sure who they all are, but they are following me.
Now that is scary in itself. Heck, where will we end up? And
what if I turn around and follow them?
After I read a tweet one of my followers wrote today asking
if I wanted to howl? Er’rm, not just now, give me a lifetime and perhaps I will
change my mind? Do I want to eat dead things? No definitely not with a capital
N. Why is this guy following me? Am I really that crazy? He is truly odd. Am I
the only one who just doesn’t get Twitter? Perhaps my grasp of the English
language is too serious to tweet. I mean, after all, that is what my Canary
does and he is in a cage!
Well now in today’s world, I still can’t get my head around
Twitter, though a few more people are following me. Brave followers! I have got
into lovely conversations though with some really nice people. But I’m reminded
by a techno Husband and a Son on the side of tech, that a conversation is not
what you are supposed to have on Twitter. Well, what are you supposed to do? I
still just don’t get it, and as for #, and @? When I’m trying to link my
followers in, check out the lingo by the way, do I press #, or @? Why can’t
there be a hello button or an address button? You know I use a screen reader,
well, my software reads out the sign #, as (Number) it’s not a number, it’s a
em, well, something else, right? Whatever
it is, it’s not a pigging number!!!!! Now I know the sighted ones out there
will press #, and to them, they will be reading and writing (Hashtag) well,
what the heckers is a hashtag? It sounds like a label you put on a plastic bag
you are going to distribute illegally, to someone in a nightclub!
So, I will keep following, and replying and even liking, but
forgive me if I get it wrong from time to time. In the meanwhile, why not
follow me, let’s see what adventurous places we can find and what mischief we
can get into with our hashtags and numbers. Oh, and by the way since I wrote
the above, I have moved on from an iPod, to an iPhone I will have you know!!!
