I'm one of the Tweeters for the social media committee at work--which is a bit of a learning curve, because I don't have a personal Twitter. True, I'm logged onto my boyfriend's account on my computer, but I don't use it except to follow random feminists in the hopes that one day he'll call me up and start talking about heteronormality and the contrast between chivalry and chauvinism*.
I honestly think that Twitter is just sort of silly. Most of the people I know/would follow are not that interesting, if I'm being honest. Some people are great, but that's why I have a Facebook. And anyway, I don't really think that anything worth saying can be said in 140 characters. Obviously. That's why I ramble on so in this blog of mine.
On the other hand though, being tech-savvy is a valuable skill in the modern job market. It is, and it seems silly to say, but being able to use social media and communicate with people is a serious asset. And I understand that, which is why I am now going to learn to use Twitter. I can put it on my list of skills now without having to restrict all my words. Hooray.
