I just bit the bullet and got on Twitter. I feel kind of dirty. I've been avoiding the popular social networks for years. But I've recently found out that a lot of old friends can't find me, because I was always the techie and they get confused that my online presence is practically invisible. They don't know to look outside the main avenues, and who looks people up in a phonebook anymore?
I've been doing a lot of thinking about whether or not I want to be found as well. I'm still apprehensive on the issue, there's a large amount of people I've no interest in contact with, and only a few I do. I'm hoping the good outweighs the annoyances.
I still can't bring myself to get on Facebook yet. That one will take some time.
I've no intention to abandon this journal, there will always be things I wish to say that can't be conveyed in 160 characters. I will mostly use Twitter to follow others and post random thoughts as I have them, since I can do it from my phone. We'll see how that goes. I may not get things fully set up for a while, I have "tweeted" nothing yet(sorry, I can't believe I'm using that word). If anyone's interested, @FatherCriScO.
Who knows? It may be interesting. I have a few thoughts throughout the day that I forget by the time I'm at the computer. Are they worth anything? We'll find out. Although knowing me there will be a LOT of random bitching... :)
