The Wave of the Future!

(*Note this post is intended for humor. Do not get offended.)

I still have this love/hate relationship with twitter. I just can’t seem to break out one way or t’other (t’other = hymnal for “the other”, kind of like o’er = hymnal for “over”). Some days I really enjoy reading nuggets of truth or anecdotal factoids about the people I follow. Then there are those other days. The days that are filled with people begging to be re-tweeted, lists of all the church services they are having and off-doctrine, deep, spiritual sayings (my favorite).

The problem with twitter really isn’t 140 characters. It’s the millions of characters who twitter. I have had to unfollow a number of well-known people due to the fact that what they were saying was just wrong. Either it was just a constant feed of service info (which I could get from their website) or it was really bad “revelation.” I don’t think that every spiritual tweet a person sends out needs to contain something like this: I don’t want to eat my lunch, I want to eat HIS lunch! (That’s not an actual tweet but it’s pretty close to some I have read. Also, I understand english grammar. When you capitalize “His,” in mid-sentence, you are referring to God. There’s no need to make it ALL CAPS.)

I found a great top 10 list that summarizes what I think about twitter: this guy www.leadingsmart.com says it better than I can.

Here’s one of my favorite quotes from his top 10 list:

“Don’t tweet a message to one individual. That’s called email or text message. Tweets should be for the majority of those who follow you.”

Thank you for saying that!
