“Sunrise in Austin is fabulous today!” Weather reports. That’s pretty much what my Twitter submissions disclosed when my friend and Twitter King, David LaPlante, introduced me to Twitter back in 2006. Now it seems like EVERYONE is Twittering these days. There are even courses on how to Twitter to improve your business. Boy, did I miss something??
Based on my personal experience with Twitter, here are a few of the caveats for those who want to jump on the Tweet-Tweet bandwagon. Keep in mind that I supported and promoted the cool new micro-blogging tool as a way to stay in contact with friends and loved ones in a post on Sep 6, 2007. Still, there are downsides that you should know—and I’ll share those warnings in the only Twitter-esque way possible—David Letterman style!
Top 10 Reasons to Not Join Twitter
10. People will see that you can’t spell.
9. You don’t have a good photo to put on your site.
8. You haven’t learned to text on your phone.
7. You didn’t know you could send Twitters from your phone.
6. It might jeopardize your witness relocation program.
5. You are married and/or dating more than one person.
4. You are a hermit and don’t want people knowing a thing about you.
3. You don’t want anyone to find out what you really think of them or your stinkin’ job.
2. You loathe cyber-voyeurism, cyber-exhibitionism, and cyber-stalking.
1. Your life is SO dull that you can only tweet about the weather.
For everyone that keeps asking me about my Twitter, I’ll submit a post now. But just this once. You can check it out at Tea4Soul (my Alias) if you’re that interested in Austin’s weather. Who knows, maybe if I keep Twittering I’ll get lucky and someone will want to hire a counselor as a weather blogger.
