If You Give a Mom a Moment: Just What Exactly Is Twitter?

Just What Exactly Is Twitter?

I started Twittering a couple of weeks ago. If you are familiar with Facebook, your profile page asks the question, "What are you doing right now?" You type a little sentence, explaining your frame of mind at that moment, and all of your facebook friends can read it and be caught up with your life in that instant. Twitter is kind of like that, but you can follow other people who twitter, you can put it on your blog, and you can twitter as frequently as you want, as long as you keep it under 140 characters.

I find myself thinking about little things I want to put on my blog throughout the day, but it's not enough to create an entire post worth. So I twitter. Check it out on the right side of the page.

Do you twitter?

Megan and Jon said...: Looks like alot of while. I'll be interested to keep up on your twittering. I like the sound of that.; September 8, 2008 at 8:40 AM
Lara Neves said...: While I diligently update my status on Facebook, I have been resisting Twitter, just because it's "one more thing" and I'm trying to do ten less things. :) It looks a lot of fun, though.

Thanks for stopping by my blog...sorry to scare you with the spider stories. I really like your blog, too!; September 8, 2008 at 9:58 AM
Adrienne said...: I don't twitter (yet?) but I really enjoy reading yours!; September 8, 2008 at 10:20 AM

It is a waste of time and energy to worry about what others are thinking about you. because... You can never know exactly what another person is thinking...AND, the wost part is...they are usually not thinking about you at all. They are too busy worrying about what others are thinking about them. So, the truth is, all those terrible thoughts you thought they might be thinking about you, are your own thoughts about yourself. Better spend your energy worrying about that...or, you just might convince somebody to think what you were afraid they might be thinking after all. ~Portia Nelson

"When we honestly ask which persons in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving much advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not-knowing, not-curing, not-healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness ... makes it clear that whatever happens in the external world, being present to each other is what really matters." ~Henri Nouwen

"...People need to talk, and often a willingness to sit and listen is the greatest kindness one person can offer to another. One of the first lessons of childhood is to be wary of strangers, and while this is good counsel to guard against the world's very small nefarious element, it also teaches us to block out the large majority of those who just have something on their mind they'd like to say. We are taught to be suspicious, especially of anyone who might not look like us or share our beliefs. By the time we reach adulthood, many have perfected the art of isolation, of being careful, of not listening in the name of safety. But the truth is that we need to hear other people, all people, especially in those moments when we don't know exactly where we're going ourselves." ~Ann Patchett

"Sometimes, I imagine my own life as a series of snapshots taken by some omniscient artist who is just keeping track - not interfering or saying anything, just capturing the moment for me to look back at it again later....This is the way it is, the photograph says, and I nod my head in appreciation. The power of art is in that nod of appreciation, though sometimes I puzzle nothing out, and the nod is more a shrug. No, I do not understand this one, but I see it. I take it in. I will think about it. If I sit with this image long enough, this story, I have the hope of understanding something I did not understand before. And that, too, is art, the best art." ~Dorothy Allison
