About three weeks ago I caved in to requests to create a twitter account. I was totally unaware of what twitter was and how it could be valuable. Especially since when I visited the website it refused to give me information about what it actually was without creating an account. Twitter is a “micro-blogging” service that limits posts to 140 characters and has over 44.5 million subscribers. When you sign up for a twitter account you have the ability to follow blog feeds from individuals, family, friends, websites or businesses.
It reminds me of the old ticker-tape news reels, information about anything, everything and anyone you’re interested in instantaneously appears on your homepage. Twitter also allows others to follow your personal news reel, so that when you post something it will appear on the homepage of all your “followers.” I’ve especially enjoyed following Lance Armstrong who posts multiple times per day about his rides and even includes pictures he takes while training.
I’ll be posting sporadically about health and wellness. The beauty of the posts are that they are concise and get right to the point. Here are a few of my recent “tweets”…
