<snip> Jojo, Twitter is a blast. Most people feel the same way you do going in and then it becomes a way of life. I've often said that it's a 24-hour-a-day party with my funniest, most brilliant friends from all over the world. You can jump in at any time and always have someone to talk to. If you just need to scream to the world because life is making you nuts, you can and there will be someone there to make you laugh and commiserate. Don't discount it before you've given it a try; I've formed wonderful relationships through Twitter (just like I have through MJ's, PF and Atop). Twitter can be extremely efficient though; I rarely get a chance to come here during my work day and am often several pages behind when I do, but I have an open Twitter window and can catch up on stuff in a couple of minutes if I have two extra minutes here and there. You learn a lot. You can flail in the moment and you obtain news in an instant. (Which you can also do here, but because updates are brought over from Twitter.) IMO, Atop/Twitter tandem are a stan's best friend. [grins] And for the somewhat anti-Twitter Devil's Advocate counterargument:  I personally have a very tenuous, and sometimes uncomfortable, relationship with Twitter. It is both too searchable, and not searchable enough. Anything you say is open to the world. Whether you're comfortable with that is a consideration. For work reasons, my stanning life and friends are completely separate from anything that can be traced professionally. Not interested in the slightest in breaching that metaphorical brick wall. I don't WANT to be traced, and I don't want any conversations I have with my ATOP buddies to be easily attributed to various RL handles. Realize that anything you say on Twitter is like having a loud conversation in public. Anyone can listen in, whether you know them or not. Now, I like the fact that @hoppersskippers can be read by ATOP peeps whether they specifically follow me or not, so I haven't protected my account. That said, I won't say anything on Twitter that I care that someone who doesn't know me - or worse, someone who does - can trace back 6 months after I've said it. Its very difficult to reliably erase your footsteps on Twitter (stuff gets captured, etc). That issue doesn't bother most people. However, it definitely bothers me. Plus, dammit, I find it hard to think in 140 characters.  ;D In summary, Twitter can be a wonderful tool. However, each individual must decide on their own how they want to utilize it. Before you get started, KNOW the security issues with Twitter, and decide on your personal comfort level with it based on your comfort level with mass communication. [steps off soapbox] Hoppers, they are actually one and the same as far as searchability goes. What we say here is no more confidential and non-Google-searchable than what we say on Twitter. The difference is, you make an account that can't necessarily be tracked to your personal identity. My stan account has no identifiers to who I am in RL. I do not use my photo. I might make reference to my RL, but it's in general terms and can actually be one of hundreds of different people. If you use a gmail account, you can create an anonymous identity. Sure, granted, you can be searched through IP addresses, but you can be here too. There is no difference. The only difference here is that we ~feel we might be having a personal conversation in the bedroom while the majority of convo is going on in the living room (Twitter), but just as many people could be listening to our convo here as well. |
