how to use twitter.

i used to be very much against news stories about twitter, fb, etc.
just felt like it was copping out, in a way.
but i know im decades behind all this business.
somewhat resistant to technological (and slowly becoming societal) change.

but realised very recently that it's useless being so stubborn sometimes.
things are moving fast.
social networking things are here to say.
may as well give in.
so now--dont mind doing stories like that.

hence i had to watch a youtube tutorial about how to use twitter before i got started back in the summer. ;)

-------------------------------------------

interviewed a very eloquent prof at western the other day.
communications and media studies.
she had some brilliant points to make re: the role of these sites in our lives.
so much so i actually continued on asking her questions after i knew i had all the clips i needed for the story.

the best part--she said to me before i left--you should quit your job and come be my student!
many days--i do miss academia.
though not enough to go back full time. heh.
