New Car/New Lingo!
Ever notice how the minute you buy a new car, you start seeing that model on the road everywhere you go! The same can be true for new technology and Internet lingo. Due to the fact that I am enrolled in the Educational Media Design and Technology Master's program @ Full Sail University, I am constantly being introduced to new technology, websites, and applications that I never even new existed. Coincidently, now that I have been introduced to some of these new sites, it seems the buzz word on the tip of everybody's tongue these days is "Twitter." I've always been a "Myspacer," and recently signed up for "Facebook." I had heard of both, but was not real interested in tackling another social network due to the fact that I loved Myspace, and all that it had to offer! I thoroughly enjoyed, and still do, constantly changing my background, adding new graphics and icons, and adding new pictures or sayings. However, as an assignment, I had to sign up for Twitter. "Twitter, what is Twitter?" I thought to myself. I had never heard of Twitter or Tweets for that matter. However, now that I have joined the Twitter world, and understand that "following" someone does not mean stalking, it seems that I have once again entered a completely new virtual realm that was once completely unknown to me. Now, I cannot turn on the morning news, read a myspace bulletin, or watch VH1 without somebody saying, "Follow me on Twitter!" How did I miss this before? How did I not notice everyone and their mother's saying "Twitter?" I guess somehow the same way you never noticed the Kia Sorrento on the road until you actually purchased one yourself. Or, the same way you never noticed that so may yellow-punch buggies existed, until the fear of getting punched in your arm one more time became inevitable! Why are so there so many of those little yellow cars, and where are they hiding when you want to punch somebody back?! -Cheley. Check out http://www.twitter.com and get caught up in the new lingo!

It just happened that everyone started twittering within the last couple of months. But if you look at an article on my blog, most people do not use twitter after 1 month.
