I Don’t and I Won’t Twitter.

May 12, 2008

I did grow up learning the readers digest version of story telling or sending an email. I don’t have or need a BFF. Since I’m in my fifties I run with the sight challenged crowd. So staring at a little screen just isn’t high on my agenda.

Learning the whole new language of texting doesn’t seem like to good use of my time. Many of these new social media tools and options can be effective for the right demographics.

This is also why I’m not likely to endorse using a blackberry. I like my email delivered to me while I sit in the comfort of my home or at the coffee shop, my office away from home. I might also add that I seldom bring my phone with me when I leave home.

I am well connected to the Internet because I am a website consultant. I have no desire to carry my work with me in the form of and electronic device. It’s highly unlikely that I will ever adapt to the Twitter and blackberry as ways of business. Since I work from home, I don’t have the luxury of going home to get away from work. So the thought of bringing work with me when I leave home seems insane.

Yes, I will miss calls and opportunities and I’m ok with that. I’m also cool when I look out my home office’s window to view the wonderful bursts of color that my garden provides.
