We got engaged in a lengthy discussion on the merits of using the internet messaging service "Twitter." From there we also wondered who did the whole "facebook" thing and overall, how much people are on the internet in general in Northwest Iowa?
I feel I am a bit behind the curve as far as this technology stuff goes, I spoke with our intern Dan about what the "kids" are doing nowadays and it appears that by and large, facebook is the preferred means of communication. When I asked him about Twitter, he said that heard about it, but only from the media and didn't actually know anyone who was actively using the service. I decided I would give it a try, so anyone who uses twitter can "follow" me:

From what I have been able to gather, the point is to communicate with other users using short "status updates" like "I am eating a sandwich" or "I am having ham for dinner tonight." (Wow, I must be hungry, all of my analogies are food related!) People do have conversations, they are short but go back and forth and are a matter of public record. (They don't have to be is you direct message, but that's another lecture for another time!)
So I now have a myspace, a facebook and now a twitter. When the heck do I actually talk to people in person? I am even using the web to talk to you right now! I just had an old friend call me out of the blue a few minutes ago and we do try and keep up with each other on facebook, however she decided that sometimes you just need to pick up the phone and actually SPEAK to someone, to which I say, kudos!
Do you know what I am talking about, or perhaps I am just babbling and stuck in a world all by myself? (its been suggested)
Let us know! E-mail us: chunkandpunk@kiwaradio.com or message us or friend us or follow us or…even a phone call would work!
Thanks for the time, I KNOW you have better things to do!
