And I don't mean with Activia.
I've struggled lately with whether to start writing again...really writing or blogging, not just microblogging. But my brain just doesn't hold it. I'm an ideas person, and these days my head is vomiting this stuff up. It's really not all that cool. It's more like torture. It seriously limits my attention span.
Ask my husband: I'm obsessed with Twitter.
You see, I get a little OCD with technology. Typically an early adopter (read: "geek"), I held off on Twitter for, what, two years? Went running straight into the iPhone's AT&T hell, however. Love the phone, hate the service. Bang head on wall. Fall down with bloody head. Get back up. Repeat.
It's just that, Twitter's different. I'm an information hound, and I love to share what I read and learn. I like to connect dots between things. For me, Facebook is a little too up-close and personal. Honestly, as a pastor's kid, my life was lived in front of scorecards. People always had something to say about what I was doing, wearing, eating, who I was dating. I really don't miss it that much, and I don't need to remanufacture it on Facebook.
I guess what it comes down to is this: Facebook is for friends; Twitter is for strangers.
Better put: Facebook is for people you met before 'friending' them online. Twitter is for people you probably have never met until following them or being followed by them online.
Guess that means I prefer strangers. (My MBTI profile suggests I have "friends on the side." Go figure.)
