Do You Follow Me?

Is that twitter worthy? I don't know.

I got an email from twitter a couple weeks ago notifying me that I was now activated on twitter. Only it wasn't me, it was someone with a similar name and, I'm guessing, a similar email address. I never wanted a twitter account.

Now that Disney owns Marvel, will Spiderman save Pooh from the heffalumps? twitter worthy?

I went onto "my" new twitter account and told customer service about their error. I even changed "my" password so I could log in to do that. I got an email saying that they are a frees service and don't have enough resources to deal with problems. They asked if my problem was really important. They wanted to know if I could just delete their email response and forget the whole thing.

I learned that twitter customer service is more of a theory than a tangible item. Is that worth tweeting?

Ultimately I changed "my" email address on "my" twitter account and then signed up my real self with a new twitter account with my email.

So now I'm on twitter. You can follow me at http://twitter.com/JohnnyB144, I mean, if you want. But why would you? I can tweet my blog entries or I might have amusing thoughts that I can't wait to impart to you.

The problem I have with twitter is the name "twitter", the function "tweets" and the cute bubble=letter fonts, the pastel colors and the stars and clouds. twitter looks like a Polly Pocket accessory. Now that's probably to long for a tweet.

I realized that twitter might be useful at work. But the things I would tweet related to a humor blog are different from I would do for business. So I opened another twitter account.

So I've gone from having one unwelcome twitter account to having two by choice.

What can I say ... er, tweet?
