Sigh. In a move that shames me, I have joined Twitter. I am tweeting and following other tweeters like the lemming that I am. The reason I finally caved in to the burgeoning peer pressure is simple. I found myself wanting more Tigers news, and these days, the latest breaking stuff is on Twitter. As I dug my feet in and refused to become a part of the Twitter revolution, I secretly cheated. I would manually type the following URL into my browser: "http://twitter.com/beckjason". Then I would have to do this repeatedly, because I didn't have a Twitter account. Actually, I did have a Twitter account, I just wasn't using it. I wasn't following anyone, I wasn't tweeting, I wasn't doing anything.
So, although I am now filled with self-loathing, I have tweeted a few tweets, and followed some folks. Some cool things have come out of it, I admit that.
Anyone who joins Twitter must set prodigious goals and then brazenly publicize them.
By the end of 2011, I would like to have 20 followers.
It's ambitious to be sure, but I've never been known to shy away from a challenge. If you want to read Old English D's pedestrian rants, I mean scintillating commentary, there is a link to the right. Thank you. (?)

Just embrace it, Jen! It's okay.
Think of Twitter as allowing you to "blog" all the things too short to justify their own posts.
We'll get you those 20 followers, toot sweet.
Just for the record, it's not that I hate Twitter. I just didn't need another time-suckage outlet and whatnot. Thanks for theTwitter shout-out by the way, even if I was being facetious about followers. Ha.
