Twitter

Today was a day filled with preparation for depositions at work and the normal mom stuff such as grocery shopping, doctors visits, and homework. While going from place to place, I had a chance to reflect on ways to quickly share messages with all of my friends and support teams that encourage me when I am feeling tired and weak. I need to be able to reach others to provide the strength needed. I hear about people using Twitter all the time but never considered the value of a media technology that posts just one or two lines until today. Who says that Twitter must be used to express my current feelings? Why can’t I use Twitter as a tool to reach the masses. I could go on and tell the entire soccer team that practice will be on-time at the normal field and that everyone should remember to bring their water. I can use this feature to remind my scouts that they should wear their Class B uniform tonight instead of Class A because we are going to work on a service project for our local American Legion. I can Tweet about how I feel extra super hero strength when I can reach so many people by using my cell phone or computer instead of calling each and every member of our group to share a quick message. I no longer worry about getting the chatty individual on the phone that forgets that I am balancing a lot these days. Twitter is another media technology that I am going to store in my bag of superhero tricks and powers. Just like the entertainment world, I am going to make Twitter work for me. They use this technology as a means of telling their fans where concerts will occur and if they have a new song. I will use it to keep the daily events moving along. As a bonus, I can link my FaceBook and Twitter all together.

Thanks to FaceBook, Twitter, television and texting…..WonderWoman strikes again. She raised her awesome bracelets together, completed many mundane tasks and stayed focused on getting her work complete.
