After months of defiance as one friend after another went over to the dark side, I finally joined Twitter. [The feed is also in my sidebar to the left]
At the MLT conference Shahed described it as a mini-blog post, which made it seem more interesting than just another status update, and a challenge to boot with its 140 character limit. Yet, still I hesitated.
But, yesterday when I found out that some of my favorite restaurants are now on-line with secret menu updates and specials, the foodie in me could no longer resist!

I’m on there as otowi3333. I haven’t quite been sold on it yet, either! We can explore it together, I guess!

I’m there as yaaaishah!
I’m not totally sold on it either…honestly, like I need ANOTHER status to update, and I know y’all can’t find me THAT interesting. But it’s fun to follow people I like (and you are one!).

Won’t do it. (I say now.) But really, what came first, Twitter or twit culture? Is the former the outgrowth of the latter? Postmodern education coming home to roo

Salaams all,
As someone who once had a status update on Facebook that read “Those who Tweet are Twits” I completely understand the reluctance!
Ibrahim, that was pretty hilarious
Warmly,

I’m actually enjoying it. As just another status update it’s pointless, but as a way of crafting short prose/poetry or sharing thoughts too short to blog it is perfect!
Warmly,
Baraka
