My husband signed me up for Twitter last week. "You're going to love it!" he tells me. "It's the wave of the future, you can share so much information." Of course, what I heard is,"here's another distraction you have to learn." But after perusing the Twitter site and looking for things to follow, I had to say that he's right. I have found great organic recipes, lots of information on sales, detailed legislation information on the future of organics...and I'm just getting started!
So we're in. We're signed up and are now twittering. Please follow us, tweet back and tell your friends! But let's make a pact to do it responsibly. Don't do it while you are having a great conversation with your friend, in line at the grocery store, or at dinner with your family. (I know most of you wouldn't considering doing such a thing, but it is fun addicting stuff we must stay aware!) Take, for example, a prime example of a twitter annoyance: Out to diner with my husband last night, he glances at his phone and starts scrolling. I ask, "you have to work tonight?" He answers, "No, so and so just broke his collar bone and is out the rest of the season!"
We have to evolve rules for twittering just like we have with cell phones: keep them on silent not just in the theater, but also when in public or when with other people. These technologies can bring great things into our lives, but we have to keep things in perspective. But you're already reading a blog dedicated to organic, sustainable living. You know what I mean. So enough said: Let's tweet peacefully!!
