Man, I love Twitter
I have had a morning full of meetings, and (in a dangerous move) am drinking my second cup of coffee this morning. I am way early (almost an hour) for a meeting with my friend Katherine, at Albina Press in Portland. I thought I’d get here early and take advantage of their free wifi and work.
Once comfortably installed at a table, I rocketed through email, answered a couple of direct messages (DM) on Twitter, retweeted (RT) one, and posted this:
Not one minute later, my phone rings, and it’s Katherine. “We are meeting at 10:30, aren’t we?” She saw my Tweet and hoped she wasn’t late.
Talk about immediacy of conversations…
You freaked your friend out … sometimes, that’s funny to do.
Twitter is the Swiss-army knife of communications. It does almost everything, but usually there is a better dedicated tool for the job.
I enjoyed the experience enough to blog about it… which is much more laborious than Tweeting about it!
