Got Twitter?
Twitter anyone?
I’m just getting my feet wet…or my tweeter twitted, or something like that. If you log on to Twitter.com, and check out donbrunsbooks, you can see my daily two sentence blog about where I am, what I’m doing and random thoughts.
Who cares?
So far, without really reaching out, I’ve got about 15 followers…and I don’t even know fourteen of them.
Now there are people who have 250 followers…celebrities who have close to 1,000,000 followers, and I’ve been studying them, trying to figure out what makes Twitter so appealing. People like Sean Combs, (Pdiddy) is on and he says things like “Rave on!” That’s just one twitter. Other’s say “Going for 1,000,000 positive people. Are you there?” And I’m not sure I’m supposed to answer.
John Mayer, the singer/songwriter is on. A lot. Supposedly Jennifer Aniston broke up with him because he twittered too much. ( It doesn’t even sound nice, does it?) He says things like. “Not going to put lotion on my face tonight. Let the bitch breath.” I don’t want to know what John Mayer wears or doesn’t wear to bed.
There are twitters from William Schattner. I have nothing in common with Bill…except that I liked his portrayal of Denny Crane in Boston Legal. So I’ve avoided following him. I do have a friend, Jim Fussilli, who writes a music column for the Wall Street Journal ( I know…why do THEY need a music column?), and I check him out. He’s following some new bands and that’s kind of fun.
The New York Times twitters. And I guess that news stories are breaking on Twitter because you can Twitter by phone ( although I haven’t mastered that yet.) I’ll be on a subway, train and two planes today. Then in a car. I’ll be eating meals, thinking deep thoughts and worrying about the deadline on my 2010 book, plus thinking about the sales of Bahama Burnout, my March release. So consider yourself Twittered…even if you don’t Twitter.
Those are my thoughts for the day…the week, the weekend. That’s my Twitter!
Rave on!
