Yes, I have a Twitter account, but why? I almost feel like I shouldn't have one, so I won't feel forced into a following that is indeed as insane as the bigfoot followers (or for the Everglades dwellers, the skunk ape). I feel like I should be hiding in the bushes, waiting to snap a shot of Twitter's effectiveness and results. That way I could show it to the world and say "Hey everyone, I'm not crazy, Twitter does work! I used it and my business moved forward. Look at these flow charts and graphs!".
As of right now, I've been unable to accomplish this task, so I feel like I've joined the legions of believers of UFOs, bigfoot, and the elusive Bhutan Yeti. There is a glimmer of hope. Recently, they've found a hair that they suspect is from the Yeti - so maybe I'll be able to prove yet that people actually care what I'm Twittering or that Twittering isn't a ridiculous expression.
Even as I write this, I know the Twitter believers are digging through the pile in the back of their car to find the research they've been compiling to prove me wrong.
I will continue to use Twitter, but I feel like a bulletin board in the crawl space under the stairs would get more exposure sometimes.
