Three Saturdays ago, I was going to post something about how stupid Twitter is/was. I think I was annoyed because I often read articles online, and I noticed that you can follow a lot of things on Twitters nowadays. After a few minutes of introspection, I thought, "Eric (because that's what I call myself now), I shouldn't knock Twitter until I try it." I created a Twitter account intending to use it for one week. My goal was to show people exactly what I did and thought for that week. I started it before a workshop that I had to attend. Well, I didn't Tweet past Sunday because it lost my attention rather quickly. Anyhow, here's several hours into the mind of Kyle:
1. I just joined Twitter. I wanted to write a post on FB about how much I hate Twitter, but I refrained because I've never actually had my...7:32 PM Oct 16th from web
2. own account. So, I shouldn't knock it before I try it. Right? I am going to use it for one week.7:33 PM Oct 16th from web
