Every Tweet You Tweet
I’ve been on Twitter for awhile now. I don’t mean to brag. Because there’s really nothing cool about knowing about a useless technology before everyone else. But I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with it for about a year now, and I keep coming up blank. It seems like just another in the long list of things that I have to constantly be checking.
Well, after much internal debate, I finally figured it out. The trouble is that I was trying to make it too interesting. I had to decide what was Twitter-worthy and what was not. And then I got into the state where I was constantly trying to find things to tweet about, and it made me anxious.
But all that anxiety went away when I decided to stop looking for interesting events and start looking for boring events. I have boring things happen to me all the time. So from here on out, I am only going to catalog the boring things. I will be your little oasis of boredom amidst the constant excitement of your Twitter friends. If you’d like to be bored, please follow me right shah.

I use twitter for work. It turns out a lot of those younger folks tweet things like “I’m working on my chemistry homework.” I leave it to you whether that’s the boring side or the interesting side.

Exactly. It’s just for the small stuff. Like your Facebook status is. Also useful since my phone doesn’t really do Internet and sometimes I need to blog something. Also, embed your Tweeter in your site. I NEVER go to Twitter.

Or use Digsby or Tweetdeck, so you don’t have to go to *any* site to tweet.
