Like Many, I Have Addictions

And some of those addictions prove to be fruitful...like Twitter. Some, not so fruitful...like eating two whole bags of Cadbury Mini Eggs over the past week or so.

As for Twitter, it makes me feel part of the big picture. I follow many techies, social stragtists and friends. I have to say, that most of the tweets that I read all relate back to technology and work. Where else can you log-on and see what is 'hot,' where folks are or are going as well as connect (and when I say connect, I mean that I get a PM on my cell) when someone has a comment for me. (OK, so I know there are other mirco-blog apps, I just happen to use Twitter.)

I view myself as a simple girl from NWPA and when I received a PM from a technology guru yesterday I was overwhelmed! He tweeted about a dynamic presenter that I recently viewed on TED and I responded to his original tweet.

How else could this type of communication and connectedness take place?

I know that these are pretty obvious thoughts, but I just have to say that I am proud to have addictions...well, for the most part!
