For those who do not know about Twitter, it is another social networking site. Along with that, it is also another annoyance that I am finding my husband possesses.
I have learned a lot about my husband since he started his home business. Some things I found are great and some not so great. Twitter, however, has become one of those major addicting annoyances lately.
See, my husband discovered that you can follow famous people on Twitter. As if, we did not get enough of their lives every time the news is on. No, now I get updates throughout the day.
He was so excited the day I came home to tell me about his new find.
"I am following Rainn Wilson on Twitter!" He exclaimed.
"O.k., I am not sure who that is," I say.
"Dwight! From The Office!"
"That is cool, I guess. Where are you following him?"
"On Twitter. I am also following Jon Favreau, MC Hammer and Shaq!" He says.
"Seriously, MC Hammer?"
Now, I daily get updates as to what these celebrities are up to. Did you know that Jon Favreau is on the set of Iron Man and talking about it? Did you know that Shaq gave away tickets to his game last week to the first person that showed up at the store he was in after he twittered where he was at? I figure if I have to listen about all these people, you should to.
As if that was bad enough, he also installed this thing called a Tweet Deck on his computer. It dings every time someone updates their status on Twitter and/or Facebook. Can you imagine how many times it dings? I had to make him turn it off after the first night because I could have legally been committed.
I think the worse part is I am starting to get hooked. Did you know that you can even find deals, coupons, business, etc? I have even found Steve Spangler and some of my political favorites.
I am not sure at this point how long before my mind is officially mush or the end of my marriage, but at least I know I can twitter about it. Hey, maybe I should look into following my husband!
