100,000 Followers! Thank you!
Almost three years ago, I first heard of Twitter. I didn’t get it and quickly dismissed friends that pushed it on me. A waste of time. Idiots! All of them.
Fast forward two years and I finally signed up. Too many people sent the “I want to follow you, join Twitter” email so I just went with it, plus the previous years of subliminal brainwashing got me thinking this might be more than just a flash in the pan. A week later I was addicted and spent all my time learning the ins and outs; the bots, spam, DMs, follow limits, action limits, follow ratios, automation tools, the API, etc.
Twitter is much more than a network, it’s a protocol. A new way of communicating. A guilt-free way of communicating - not as synchronous as chat, but not as asynchronous as email - you can reply when you want to and you don’t have an inbox piling up. For me, that is perfect.

You should've stopped there; you had it right.
And that is where I did stop for two years. After the constant barrage of press and this notion of Twitter being the second coming, I had to at least try it.
Show me the way- RT @clatko 100,000 Followers! Thank you! http://bit.ly/3n6gd0
