I’ve Fallen Into the Deep End of the Twitter Pool

Of late, I’ve fallen into the deep end of the social media pool, Twitter specifically.

It’s to be expected… I mean, Oprah tweets now, seems like the whole world will  be fast on her heels.

I’ve found things that used to melt my brain exceedingly interesting, like figuring out the CSS for this blog’s theme and tweaking it until I’ve finally got it where I want it.

Twitter (want to follow me? @edelbonis) has been capturing a big chunk of my attention as well… I’m trying to vet out what’s useful, what’s funny, what’s good and what’s just a bunch of hooey.

Like MySpace, Twitter lends itself to mass numbers of sketchy folks trying to get me to pay attention to them.  At first I was like, “Cool! Look at all these folks following me!”  Then I got over it and realized that they were following the entire known universe.

I’ve been trying to do a  little reading about Twitter etiquite… don’t want ot be the asshole at the party.  It seems like there are definite tiers of Twitter users.  I’ve not yet figured out on which tier I’d like to sit.

I think I’m doing a decent job of treading water… for the moment, anyway.
