It seems the impossible has happened.

I made a Twitter.

Someone should check for any other signs of the apocalypse.

I just realized that I never made a feature page for Twitter like I did with Facebook and DeviantART. So let's jump right in!

I've been thinking about this for a while now, because SOMEONE keeps complaining that I don't have a Facebook account (you know who you are >_>). I'm not trying to imply that this is a replacement somehow, but I did get positive remarks when I expressed interest in Twitter, so I thought this would be a good experiment.

So what features do we have here?

140 character posts - There are plenty of things I think of throughout the day that are WAY too short for me to post on here. Twitter would be a good way to get that out there. Besides, posting something gets it off my mind, so it's not floating around distracting me from whatever I'm doing while trying to lengthen it out to "blogpost length" (whatever that is).

Follow businesses I like - I know I've said before that I prefer to go to their site instead of reading the post on social media, but I've been looking for some sort of RSS feed to keep that all together, and this sort of fulfills that role.

#hashtag - If I start using hashtags outside of satire, please someone slap me.

Follow people - The entire purpose of social media right here. Watch my friends and family and other peeps do things. But there are two snags:

Most of my friends don't post much on Twitter. That's fine and all, but they'll get drowned out by all these other things I'm following that post every ten minutes. I'm not sure how to work around this yet, but if I don't find out anything I'll live with it.

My friends and family aren't as careful as I am about their location/identity/etc. So by looking at who I follow, people could figure out who I am and where I'm at, which renders all my attempts at privacy useless. I could up the privacy on the account, but that would protect everything, and I only want to protect some things. But I'm figuring out that if anyone wanted my information, they could find it already (despite my efforts). So it's becoming more of a moot point.

With that in mind, this is an experiment, so I'm not sure where this will go. But I think a lot of good will come out of this, so let's see what happens.
