Can someone explain to me the lure of twittering? I just don't get it. It is kind of like blogging-on-the-go: "I am standing on the stairs now"; "I am walking down the stairs"; "going into the ice cream shop now"; "walking outside". Wow, riveting. My friend Greg put it real good in his blog about Facebook (which applies to twitters): all this stuff supposedly gets us more relationally connected. Yet, all we do is have our faces buried in computer or Blackberry screens isolating ourselves from all that is around us. For all we know, we're typing to someone in the next room! I guess that this is where the i-generation is at. I just hope that all this technology doesn't move us so far away from personal contact that we forget how to say hello to someone.
Or farewell
Farewell...

Hi Tony! I don't know if this is good or bad, but I work at home alone and I get twitter updates and it kind of makes me feel like I am still a part of CCC hearing the buzz in the office. So for me, yeah, it helps me stay connected and not so lonely.
