OMG 1'M ON TW1TTER!
I don’t exactly know why (yet), but I finally succumbed to the Twittering masses. Because I simply don’t have enough time-sucking vortexes, I suppose, as you can tell by the vast number of posts on this site recently.
I can be found at twitter.com/reidstott (apparently you only get to use “photodude” as a username if you’re an early adopter). I expect to offer nothing … but oddities, random thoughts, and other non-constructive offerings. But mostly nothing. I currently have no followers, and I have one friend: Stephen Colbert, who has somehow managed to make his Twitter page look like a MySpace monstrosity.
But their search function is gone, and it’s hard to track down people that I know are on there. If you have an account, leave a comment and let me know. Or if, like me, you’re still slightly embarrassed that you have an account, email me, and it will be our secret. I want to help make the Twitter experience as useless as possible for as wide a circle of people as I can manage.
Thank you for your support.

Not sure why we’re doing this… Are we curmudgeons yet?
Yet? I think the fact we’re both wondering “not sure why I’m messing with this trendy thang” pretty much confirms the fact we are.
Perhaps I should just speak for myself. I suspect it is my curmudgeonly and/or sarcastic nature that will come out best in a 140 characters or less medium.

I last logged into the thing two months ago. I have no idea what it’s utility is or why there’s a fascination with it.
Utility? None I can see. Except as a way for me to insert a short snarky comment like this as a special bubble within the site redesign I’m working on now.
I’m always looking for new ways to inflict my snark on others.
I don’t get it. But I’m older than most.
I’m going to consult my 16-year-old daughter.
I’m going to consult my 16-year-old daughter.
Why not? My soon-to-be-graduated-from-HS daughter manages my Facebook and MySpace pages, which exist solely so that I can connect with my performing group’s pages. And I would imagine that I will end up letting her keep track of my Twitter page as well.
About the only ones I maintain on my own are the ones on LiveJournal and Blogspot.
