Twitter is down. And I'm beyond myself with what to do. First of all I texted Jamie to make sure it's not just me. (it's not)Then I went to this website to make sure it's not just me & Jamie:YES
I'm at a loss- I have all these brilliant things to tweet:
"Big hole in the armpit of my shirt. Crap"
"Still have great deals on hot tubs left over from our sale. Come see us today"
"Legal in Georgia"
and I can't. (I run 3 twitter accounts so I literally typed all those things this morning and hit 'send' and it didn't work :( humph)
But it got me thinking about myself, my mornings & my love for twitter. I got twitter years ago when it first came out and was boring, and it seems like in the last few months it's just blown up- people are using it for good, fast communication. If you love a clothing store- follow them on twitter. If they're good at what they do, they'll have sales announced FIRST to twitter & coupons available only for their followers. Same thing with news sources- I hear everything first on Twitter. MJ's death, Anna Paquin & Stephen Moyer's engagmenet (real important, I know) It's just... there. I don't have to search 'who got engaged today" or "what celebs died today." I just always know- because someone is talking about it on Twitter.
So my morning routine is, come in, grab coffee, start my computer, check my email, twitter comes on (I use digsby to maintain all my accounts), say hello to the twitterverse and see what I missed overnight. This morning? I have no idea. World War 3 could've been declared and I wouldn't even know. (Although I did listen to NPR on my way in- BBC news hours probably would've mentioned that, huh?)
It's crazy. I'm so connected. And so dependant on it. And I can't tell you that I think it's a bad thing. Sure, there are some negative things that go along with our world being in constant, face-paced communication, but I think the good outweighs the bad.
Anyway.... have I missed anything big!? Fill me in!
Update: Facebook is down too. I think I might die
3 loving comments of adoration:
I wouldn't have known. Seriously...I never check the twitter. haha!
I am twitter-phobic. So, twitter being down actually makes me feel better about my day. Thx.
Important things happening that you won't hear about with twitter down (or with twitter working):
-I posted swoonable pics of McDreamy
-I read about twitter being down on your blog
-I got some important work done this morning
-I daydreamed about Edward Cullen
-It is supposed to rain in ny today.
Bekah, you're welcome for all of this news.
Thanks for making me laugh, when I feel like my world is going to implode. You are the best, ma'am.
