Now, I can finish blogging about Week 7 of the course!. I fully intended to post a blog about Twitter the day after my last blog on Facebook, but alas life, and computer problems, got in the way. Here now, so what can I say about Twitter? Having read the article about the earthquake, I can appreciate that a networking tool like Twitter can be hugely beneficial to those trying to get in touch with loved ones when all other means of communication are down (this is assuming they have their 'phone with them and, who, apart from me, doesn't nowadays?). However, using it on a day to day basis wouldn't be for me - I lead a very ordinary life (no sex scandals, no double life), so don't really think I'd have anything interesting to say. Who cares if I spent the morning deadheading the roses, or cleaning the bathroom or going to woolies for the shopping? Did I say I lead an ordinary life? maybe boring would be more appropriate. There is also the time factor - would I be bothered starting up my computer to add a tweet? I don't think so. Still for the purposes of this course I shall do my best to say something for 5 days in a row.In summary, I think it's okay for the rich and famous, but not for me. Did you know that Lady Gaga has 9.5 million followers and Justin Bieber 9 million - it's a strange old world we live in. Moving onto Week 8 of the course ......
P.S. Almost forgot, I'm known on Twitter as CiaransMum1.
You did make me laugh - but you're only doing, on a daily basis, what the majority of us working Mums do on a daily basis and that is keep the family home going whilst holding down a job (or in my case 2 jobs!) Hey Ho!
ReplyDeleteJust completed week 10 and so I'm adding my final comment to your blog and I'm done...yipppeee!!
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing wrong with ordinary ... ordinary is what keeps the world going. And I'm quite interested to know you deadheaded your roses!
ReplyDeleteTwitter is great for quick communications especially during crises, and on a more professional level, conferences.
