Remember a few months ago when I openly mocked Twitter and those who tweeted? Well, after much convincing and research, I’ve decided to take the bold step to explore whether I was wrong. I have no problem admitting I was wrong. I think.
Twitter is that nifty social networking site that enables follows to tweet about themselves in 140 characters or less.
Frankly, giving updates in 140 characters or less is going to take some practice. Attorneys tend to communicate their thoughts and ideas with much superfluous verbiage designed to ensure that we do not leave those who are listening with any doubt as to what we are saying (translated: we talk a lot – and sometimes, it stunts our growth as people… but it’s something I’m trying to work through).
Why the change of heart? It seems that everyone is doing it. While I shudder at conformity, I find it kinda cool that I can follow the Boston Police Department and the Boston Fire Department, as well as some of my favorite bloggers. If they are tweeting, there is no good reason why I shouldn’t at least give it a try.
So here’s what I’m going to do: next October, this blog will celebrate its 5 year anniversary. At that time, I promise to blog about whether I was wrong or right about Twitter… and perhaps even why. For now…I’ll just assume a “let’s wait and see” posture (translated: I’m not technically wrong now).
Feel free to follow us… and please don’t be shy about letting us know how you feel about what and how we’re doing.
