Twitter - You Can Learn A Lot About People...

I find Twitter pretty amazing in that people think the world cares (and needs to know) about every little aspect of their lives.

It's not uncommon to see things like...

"At red light.  Wish it would turn green."

Who cares?

From a "big picture" though, even "red light" messages will tell you a lot about somebody.  I especially find it interesting to watch musicians and others in the music business.

What's amazing to me is how little people actually get done.  If you were to look at most of them on Twitter, most spend the majority of their time eating, hanging out with friends, and responding to other people on Twitter who are eating and hanging out with friends.

It's no wonder so many musicians are broke.

Not to jump on anybody, but you can't have a certain outcome without doing an action in alignment with that outcome.  Newton's Law in action, my friends.

I get things done.  Want to know how? Check out my Twitter page and follow me.  All this week, I'll be sending updates for those who are interested in an example of a daily routine that takes care of business.  Just to keep it interesting, when possible, I'll post photos.

Some of what I do will probably surprise you.  Next week, I'll post analysis and explain it all.

So follow me on Twitter and let's get going.

Looking forward to it David.... I still may tweet about squirrels running up the tree out my window, post pictures of 18" Pez containers and warn against mindless consumerism, rejoice that I've finished a new song and link to a You Tube video of this past weekend's performance.

I kind of think of Twitter as a virtual water cooler, and Facebook as the modern equivalent of the golf course of the old boy network.

Can't wait for your perspective...

"red light" is almost as bad as people posting what they had for breakfast. ;)

Ha! Diet is actually going to be a very important part of this. You'll understand when I bring it all together next week. ;)

I was going to take a picture of my desk and post it, but didn't want to freak anyone one.

Right on. Would love to add some of the like-minded followers around here (http://www.twitter.com/femmefrets is my locale-feel free to add me!).

Can't promise I won't occasionally post about zesty pickles or coffee though...we all have our rockstar vices. ;)

Soooo right. You've got to HUSTLE and work your way to the top, not tweet what you had for lunch ;)

Are people so vain as to believe that others will care about every minutiae of their private lives. Much of what is posted on Twitter (of for that matter any of the other micro-blogs_) is inane bable, and what floors me is who is posting what.

It has been suggested by people who profess to be social media/networking experts that we approach things as though we were at a party.

I suspect that if we were at a party and approached each other with the same 140 character lines, we would alienate others.

I suspect that within a few years we are going to look back at this passing fad and think to ourselves, "How could I have wasted so much time documenting every detail of my life?" And then awaken to the fact that every post is being indexed and archived by the search engines.
