Greetings and welcome to today's random thought.
My new manager at work is very into social networking. We have several internal sites / applications available to us at work including internal blogs (yes, I have one) and a twitter-like site. Blogs I know how to use but twitter I do not. As such I have decided to create a twitter account and see what the fuss is all about. I have been thinking about it for a while but when one of my favorite authors joined Twitter, I decided to join and follow him. My Twitter page looks pathetically blank thus far but I have managed to gain one follower. I have to try to remember to post all the inane things that go on during my day so my follower it kept apprise of my whereabouts and goings on.
I also created a MySpace page. I have never really liked MySpace. The layout on every page I ever visited was clunky and confusing but I did use it to keep up with a few favorite bands and stream music. MySpace still seems better (to me) for this kind of thing but it is due for an overhaul (unless of course the idea is to appear disjointed and confusing, then I guess it is perfect). I am up to 280+ friends on FaceBook so far so I have a ways to go in order to catch up. Perhaps I need to get one of those cool cell phones that lets me tweet on the go. That would be a big jump since I have not owned a cell phone for over a year now. I just don't see myself becoming one of those people who does those kinds of things.
On the New Year's resolution front, I am still holding fast. So far no new music and no soda pop for me. We are about 15% of the way through the year so I am not predicting just yet that I am going to make it. I still owe you my third resolution as well but that will have to wait for another blog.
Thanks for reading my Random Thoughts.
Jon
