I'm hooked. Not hooked on drugs or hooked on phonics or any of those other kinds of "hooked." I'm hooked on Twitter.
Did I resist when first approached to come over and play? Why yes, yes I did. What on earth is the point of it? Why would I want to see what people are doing every minute of the day? Can we say B-O-R-I-N-G boys and girls? Why yes, yes we can! But it isn't like that at all. It is absolutely NOTHING like what I thought it would be - and that's because I didn't KNOW what to expect.
For those of you still on the fence about Twitter, take the leap! I've heard it called "micro-blogging" and 
"instant messaging on steroids" among other things. But it is so much more than that. It is an opportunity to connect with people, to become ALIVE with people, not just words on a page. Therein lies the fun! I set up an account with Twitter to see if there were any real business opportunities to be had there. Little did I know that you connect there in a much more profound and deeper level than even here which, as we all know, leads to more business.
I have to admit that I'm addicted to Twhirl, too! LUV IT! Twhirl is a desktop application that allows your Tweets (the streams of conversation) to flow on your desktop. That way, you don't have to keep the Twitter website open to participate, which is extremely helpful to me as I always have a ton of web browser pages open. One less is nice! If you've ever used an instant messenger service (AM, Yahoo, MSN Messenger), Twhirl is very similar.
While participating in conversations through Twhirl, I've met some absolutely AWESOME people! Like Elaine Hanson, Toby Boyce, Sarah Cooper, Kim Wood, Susie Blackmon, and Desiree Daniels. Now, I may have read or commented on their blogs here or elsewhere but I didn't really know them. Now, I feel like I am on the road to knowing them for real!
I also fell in love through Twitter! What happened? I met Jeff Turner. Now, we don't agree on certain subjects but that's ok. As Jeff said "we don't need to agree." (Gotta luv a man who can agree to disagree!) But my favorite thing about Jeff is that he is a strong proponent of Virtual Assistants. That and the fact that he tirelessly assists while stirring up thought. He and so many others on Twitter are just so much fun. Why don't you come on over and join us?
