Twittereality

I joined up with Twitter last September just to see what it was all about. Suffice to say I've seen much activity, most of which is marketing and the selling of something or other, mainly how to succeed with social media, how to make a million in 3 weeks, how to get an immense following and become inundated with _______ (not sure what).

It's a culture all of it's own, that Twitterific virtual utopia filled with Tweets. I'm finally getting the hang of it and am now searching to create my own little posse of people to follow or be followed by. I'm not sure why anyone would want to follow me because I'm not selling anything, I have no wisdom to share aside from a few remarks here and there, all I'm doing is being myself.

But, I have an interest in PEOPLE, what makes us tick, how we create something out of nothing, how we tend to band together and create a 'tribe' (coining Seth's word du jour). Twitter all in of itself is a very cool thing and I've been telling everyone to get on board. It's a way to share and to become involved in evolving technology where everyone is invited; there is no popularity list to be picked from.

It is truly an American creation: Grassroots, innovative, forward thinking, an equal opportunity. It's also gotten me to think outside of my perception of what I thought possible.

I'm suddenly becoming flooded with new ideas, and, mind you I've never worked in a think tank capacity. I've always wanted to though, and there it is. I think that Twitter allows people to create a new space for themselves if they really want to.

It's something about people coming together and the energy that it creates that helps to make room for new ideas. It's exciting, it is. I'm revved.

That's it for now. Have to work on my studies. Can you believe that I am working on a Doctorate in clinical hypnosis? I can't. School isn't new to me, I have a BS in human services and a minor in public relations; a Masters in clinical psychology and now I am interested in the mind body connection. Interesting stuff. I just didn't think I'd still be hitting the books. I guess I'll always be hitting the books, lol.

I always have more to say but I really must stop now. Keep tweeting and I'll catch you all later.
