I guess now I’ll definately need to think about twitter. I’m not quite on the band wagon yet. I think I’d be the 140 character girl all the time. My mind doesn’t work all that well with small things like Twitter.
That’s why I suspect I like blogs so much. Although I was slow with that as well.
I’m frequently the 165-character girl who has to edit down to fit.
I love Twitter, but it does have drawbacks. It is easy to lose track of a thread, and it is was too easy to get sucked in for hours on end.
