Following me on Twitter? I don't recommend doing that...

Little public-service-announcement here. A few months back I created a Twitter account and followed a few friends. I gave it a chance... but personally I think Twitter is a grand waste of time. I know, many people disagree, but for me, it's like walking into a bar at happy hour and hearing every single conversation at the same time. That's not a positive... that's a negative. It's too much effort to get anything of value.

So if you happen to find me on Twitter, you can follow me, but you'll be standing behind someone who isn't going anywhere. As my last twit said it:

Follow me if you like... but you'll be standing around going nowhere. Not using Twitter anymore as this is just a grand waste of time. -AC

I have to agree, Twitter is a waste of time. Glad to hear some one else thinks so.

I totally agree. There might be circumstance where something like Twitter is useful (like with most technologies). But the thing is that I just don't have the time to constantly mess with something like that.

When I first used Twitter I thought the same thing. BUT... Once I changed my following I began to hear about new sites launching, great utilities people were finding, and users reviewing products much quicker than through traditional blogs. I think Twitter would be a perfect fit for you (as an author, developer, educator, blogger) but you'll need to shift your expectations a little. If you have an engaged audience why not take advantage of that? Take care!
