Is Twitter taking over your life?
Okay, I admit, I am on Twitter too… these days, who isn’t? But so far though, it hasn’t taken over my life… not yet, especially my blogging life.
When I was still new with Twitter, I was surprised and find it rather absurd that people would post things like “eating dinner now” or “what a day!” and I was asking myself, “where they talking to me?”
There were some though, who admits that Twitter has taken over their lives.
But as I learn to understand the concept of tweeting, about following and followers, I began to appreciate the system and they were not as puzzling to me as they were before.
Indeed, it seems to be a fast-growing social network. Even celebrities weren’t spared from the twitter-bug. Twitter was even blamed for the Mayer-Aniston break-up.
That’s how influential Twitter is getting now. It’s taking over lives of people.
Fortunately for me, I still have control and blogging is still my priority. But since I tweet and I blog, why not blog about tweeting?
But I don’t know what to blog about Twitter. I tweet about my blogs, that for sure. But the other way around… hmmm, I really didn’t know where to start.
I don’t like telling ‘how-to’s’ or ‘what not to do’ and other why, when, where stuff about tweeting. For one, I’m not really an expert, since like I said I really don’t tweet that much.
And then I found this video on YouTube, about a man’s who is encouraging his friend to tweet, and how his friend countered that pressure.
Before, you watch it, be sure to have your sense of humor turn on.
Oh well, just watch it anyway.
It was funny to me. That’s why I thought of sharing it.
Hope you like it.

hahaha… honestly, I don’t think an outsider would appreciate the video because he won’t understand it, hehe…
I’m sure, you’ll find the video you’re looking for

Haha, that’s a funny video. But it’s actually a reality. Mas gusto pa ng ibang tao na makipagcommunicate online kaysa sa personal. I just use twitter to advertise my blog posts and that’s about it. Wala nama’ng sumasagot sa mga replies ko eh, hehe..

My blogging schedule was definitely messed up by Twitter, but I guess I have got some things back in balance by only using Twitter part of the day and refusing to be sucked in longer than I have time for.

That is understandable Stephan, soon you’ll get your life back to normal
