I have no interest in Twitter. I’ve got enough on my plate already without adding something else.

I have had, and will have nothing to do with Twitter(or Facebook, or whatever other busybody networks out there), and I don’t think I even personally know anyone who is on it. There are only twenty- four short hours in a day, and precious few days in a lifetime…

Sorry, dear, but I won’t have anything to do with Twitter.

I signed up for Twitter so I could see the pictures of the Iranian uprising. I’m too old and set in my ways to try to learn to communicate in 140 letter tweets. Nor am I particularly interseted in learning the language that people use on Twitter.

I joined Facebook so I could see more pictures of my grandchildren. I seldom post on it because very few people want details of the aches and pains of getting old. Whatever I need to say goes out on my blog or in E-mails.

Sorry, Doc, I Twitter exactly as much as I want to. If anyone wants me to Twitter or Tweet more feel free to write to discuss the pay scale.

I created a Twitter account just so I could learn what it was about. There’s nothing I do that any number of people want to be updated about on a frequent basis. Likewise, I don’t need a stream of one-liner updates from anyone else.

I prefer media where people can communicate more than one sentence at a time. Blogs for example. Ironically, I guess that makes me old-fashioned.

For me, it’s that Twitter is ANOTHER online venue that would have to be kept track of if you want to follow it closely. First of all, I’m a computer guy, so I have all my technical sites and newsletters and forums. Then I have my regular news and conservative websites that I visit to find out what’s really going on in the world outside of the 5 minutes of news I hear on the radio while driving.

Then I have my fun and free time websites that deal with computer games and their websites and forums, not to mention that even my free and fun time deals with computer tech and hardware.

I also have my Facebook for family, friends and work, and I get usually only get to that about once a week, unless I get a message email.

So that leaves very little time for another place I’d need to keep going to to post and respond to. Right now it’s not that big on my priority list.

While I am more conservative in what I try to put on twitter, I find that responding to many of the entries out there would get me in trouble with the TWITTER police. I am, as a general rule not “PC” in my thoughts and statements and if I put them out on twitter, my account would be blocked in about 1/2 a day. I am a member of what Hilary Clinton called “The Vast Right Wing Conspiracy” and and under the new guide lines by the Homeland Security Department “A Right Wing Extremist”.
I will respond to tweets when I think I have something to contibute, and say in a nice way.
Thanks for the space to vent (comment).
