Flavor of the Week: Twitter

So yesterday sometime I joined the wonderful world of Twitter. It was fun-tastic. Still is. I think I might be wasting my life away using it.

I know what you're thinking, you got Twitter NOW? You're wayyyy behind. But cut me some slack - I live in Malaysia. It's kinda old even for Malaysia? Whatever.

As explained in the Wiki link above, Twitter is a social networking and micro blogging platform where you basically "tweet" whatever you want in under 140 characters.

Arguably most famous user: Ashton Kutcher. I think everyone heard about the whole Ashton Kutcher vs. CNN Twitter battle which was ridiculous is every sense of the word. Everyone's on the damn thing so it's only a matter of time before it becomes an essential marketing tool.

It's funny because I only got into it because I have had to use social media for work, ie. Facebook, YouTube, Flickr, etc. But now I'm faced with the question: How personal/real can I be on this thing? I would love to actually write what I'm thinking but let's face it my (almost) real name is tied to this. Do I throw caution to the wind and write about everything and then maybe face repercussions later OR do I adhere to a strictly online persona that's very pc? But then what's the point if everything is cryptic?

So while I muddle this over, how about YOU join me and sign up for Twitter here. See you birdies!
