I know you are all sick of me talking about Twitter, but I really do think it is awesome :) A few thoughts/examples on why I think it is cool...
- Kids Hockey Team - Some parents can't make it all the time to the games, so a nice parent (like me) tweets the goals, and then gives a score update after each period. The parents and grandparents that are at work or at home are able to keep up on how the games are going.
- Ashley's Birth - Many people were on the edge of their seats waiting for updates on the birth of our lovely daughter Ashley Marie, so I used Twitter to announce her birth to the world real-time. She was born at 8:22 AM, and I tweeted about 3 minutes later that it was a girl... I was able to continue with updates, and my followers were able to see pictures as soon as they were posted etc...
It is just a great way to share information in real-time, and people can "opt-in" to whether they care about what you have to share...
I agree - it was a great way to get the word out about your daughter's birth et al. You didn't even need to be a member of Twitter, since you have the widget on your blog. Not sure I really need to know what everyone is doing every bit of the day though. Just another medium of communication technology that is available.
ReplyDeleteI just like to know what you are doing at every minute. So sometimes I don't think you tweet enough! haha
ReplyDeleteI like it I did follow the blizzard twitter. That was neat!! Not sure that any one care about what I do, we are a little boring.
Did you see the article in the Saginaw News about Freeland Schools using Twitter to notify families about reminders, school cancelations et al?
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are enjoying the tweets, and I will try to tweet more...
ReplyDeleteI didn't see the article, but it makes sense to me :)
