I have at last given in to the vast cyber world that is Twitter. I’d resisted — for no real reason — for the past two years, but finally, enough was enough. I set up a Twitter account for me/this blog, and now I’m up and running! I plan to update frequently; so be sure to sign up as a follower. That sounds mildly cultish, doesn’t it? BE MY FOLLOWER. FOLLOW ME.
Anyway, for those of you who like to be two places at once, I’ve added a handy widget on my sidebar to the right a handy status update-esque header that shows my latest “tweets.” (btw, for those of you who’ve had issues with the ads encroaching on text and pictures, I made an adjustment in my stylesheet, but I don’t know if it’s helped or not since I can’t see the problem on my computer. Please let me know if it’s fixed — fingers crossed). Anyway, back to Twitter. I have three simple goals with this new endeavor. A) I want to amass a large army of followers to feed my ego and more importantly to drive traffic to this blog and in turn generate more ad revenue. So far I’m at twenty followers. I’d be psyched to get up to about a thousand. B) I’d like to attract a celebrity as a follower. I’m thinking Demi Moore because she Twitters rabidly and has revealed herself to be a total blogger-type, but I’d be equally happy with Shia LaBoeuf, Gerard Butler, or really anyone. It’s a very superficial goal, but it would give my site more clout, and I’d have tremendous bragging rites (although, I guess with statements like that, no celeb will want to touch me with a ten foot pole). I forget what my third goal is, but I’m sure it’ll come to me, and then I’ll tweet about it, and we can all chuckle about it (and by “we,” I mean me and Demi Moore and Shia LaBeouf, my future followers).
