Comments on: Why I Finally Gave In And Started Using Twitter http://www.ianmack.com/why-i-finally-gave-in-and-started-using-twitter/ writer, filmmaker, traveler Thu, 29 Jul 2010 03:57:48 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Amanda http://www.ianmack.com/why-i-finally-gave-in-and-started-using-twitter/comment-page-1/#comment-1057 Amanda Wed, 07 Oct 2009 08:03:45 +0000 http://www.ianmack.com/?p=71#comment-1057 For not being an early adopter you still beat me! I just signed up for twitter in the last month and the part about it that I love the most is that I can get quick snippets of information from my favourite artists, including links to their latest work or info on their upcoming gallery showings, all without seeming like an obsessive stalker. The added bonus of getting to message them in a way that acknowledges your appreciation for what they're doing (by Re-tweeting their posts) without seeming creepy is also fantastic. I thought I'd hate it but have found instead that it leads to a constant stream of inspiration. For not being an early adopter you still beat me!

You neglected to mention that its also highly addictive... primarily because I see so many tweets to great articles, its become for me a great way to push information out but also to interact with a large number of people that are experts in my fields of interest. Been enjoying your posts for some time now and will add you to my Twitter feed in a moment. Cheers from (frigid) upstate NY. -M @ryancmiller Ian,

Besides tweeting, one still has to follow, read, and respond to other tweets. Maybe because I haven't got a lot of downtime, I see it as a time-sucker. May actively tweet in the future, but right now, just can't add tweeting to the ever expanding list of duties. I’m still not 100% on the bandwagon.
