Social Media is taking over my life.
I work it, live it, and yes, I even dream about Firebelly using social media outlets that are all in Portuguese.
But I do not tweet. I’m intrigued, I’ll admit, but I also fear the absolute addiction that will surely come from that little ‘get started’ button.
However, last week CNN told me about a student Twittering his way out of an Egyptian jail. After that, Todd Defren of PR Squared kinda seriously suggested to me that a PR person MUST become an active Twitter user if they want to have a meaningful career. Then when fellow Firebelly blogger Chad posted about The American Red Cross using Twitter to spread updates about where the California wildfires were spreading, I decided…
I had to do it. It’s for my own good. Without it I might get trapped in an Egyptian jail or a raging forest fire. My quest to be a social media superstar will never happen without it.
Five seconds after signing up a tweet appears from Rootfireember – ‘Welcome to Twitter. Expect to be flooded by strangeness now; enjoy the ride.’ Is it directed toward me? I don’t know. Will I enjoy this ride? Follow me at http://twitter.com/JuliaY and see.
