I couldn’t avoid it any longer. I’ve finally entered the world of Twitter. If you don’t know much about what Twitter is, you can check out more here. In a nutshell, it’s a way to post very short (140 characters or less) updates on what’s happening in your life.

Until now, I avoided joining because I felt I didn’t need another thing to do (honestly, I still feel that way a little). But, I just got the urge to try. I like to throw things against the way and see what sticks. Thus far, the experience has been fairly decent. The folks at twitter have done an excellent job at making posting your own updates or reading others’ updates really easy.

You can past at their web site, from several instant messenger programs or via text messages from your phone.

You can read others’ posts via the same channels (instant messenger, text messages or the web/RSS feeds).

How I’ll Use It

People on Twitter post all kinds of things. Personal, business, etc. I plan on posting things mostly related to photography and graphic design. Good books, blogs, news and other things happening in my professional (and occasionally personal) life. I’ll post things that are interesting and hopefully useful to others, but that aren’t large enough to dedicate an entire post here at the blog.

You can read my Twitter items several ways.

• You can create a free account at Twitter and add me (I am listed as profsnapshots). You can then sign up for updates via your phone or Instant Messanging program.
• You can subscribe to my RSS feed here.
• I’m posting the most 5 or so recent items on the sidebar of this blog. Scroll down and look to the right and you’ll see what I mean.

Hopefully, this will be a good way for me to communicate additional thoughts and happenings with family, friends and those that frequent Professional Snapshots!
