Greetings from New Joisey, I use TweetDeck on my PC, Mac, droid phone and the Twitter client on my iPad. Or did you mean what do I use Twitter for? :)
Most of the people I deal with in the server, desktop and application virtualization space and user environment management space do most of their "writing" on Twitter. I don't do much on Facebook unless I have posted a new article on my site. Same on LinkedIn. Twitter is where most of my action is. I do have separate personal and business accounts on Twitter. And dude, you are so outta touch! :) Carl Webster Consultant and Citrix Technology Professional http://www.CarlWebster.com<http://www.carlwebster.com/> From: David Lum <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: RE: Social media and real life What do you use for Twitter? And if Webster says I’m outta touch I better get with it! So…where do I start to get caught up? Is (lack of) smartphone the biggest deficiency? I don’t see myself as a techno junkie, but I do like having a broad swath of information and collaboration ability). I only know as much as my collective resources! I also REALLY don’t want to be behind the time simply because I’m stubborn – that’s not very flexible which also isn’t good for busness… From: Rod Trent [mailto:[email protected]] Subject: RE: Social media and real life They’re all tools to get information, just like anything else. There’s a stack of tools in the world for that purpose, it’s just a matter or selecting the one that fits you the best. However, as time progresses, tools like Twitter (Facebook, uggh) are displacing some of the older tools. Twitter can be a mess unless you have the right client/app to make sense of it. Once you do that, you really don’t need any other tool. I get more from Twitter than any other mechanism, now. Of course…I’m a tech info junkie. For those that really don’t care about that stuff, it’s probably not worth the effort. From: David Lum [mailto:[email protected]]<mailto:[mailto:[email protected]]> Subject: Social media and real life So…guys on the local radio station are talking about the Olympics and that “it’s nearly impossible to watch the delayed coverage of the Olympics without knowing the results first, thanks to Twitter and other social media..”. Hmm..not for me. I follow exactly nobody on Twitter, and am on Facebook not even every day and don’t even have a smartphone ($30/mo addtl’ for the data plan). Does this put me behind the curve these days? I’m guessing the smartphone is where I am behind the curve the most? Damn, I didn’t want to turn into one of those old, out of touch guys… ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
