I joined this little online world called Twitterdom, where people share their thoughts from the color of their socks to what they are eating for the world to see. Never would I have ever imagined that I would get caught up in doing almost the same thing. Just the thought of typing what is on your mind with just 140 characters is thrilling. You could write basically anything.

Twitterdom though is not only fun for me, I have a few followers about 7 handfuls to be exact and most of them share a common interest with me and that is technology. I know the other side of technology in terms of fixing computers and being a service field technician. On the part of web design and PHP and CSS and all of those funny languages I am a beginner. So I am looking at all of the links that are being given in terms of creating a decent website, which I suck at tremendously, and I try to follow those tips to make my blogging experience better.

There is this one tweeter  I follow and gosh, he has so many links that are both informative and right to the point. His name is Jesse Newhart, not only does he use twitter to tweet random things, he utilizes it in a way to help novices like me learn the other side of the web. One example of a site he tweeted the other day is : Blog Post Ideas That Always Generate Buzz. It really gave a concise view of what not to do and what to do. Plus on his website there is also a fountain of information, since I keep up with him, he posted this entry today: How To Turn Twitter Followers Into Friends. Great post, after playing with twitter and seeing how other people socialize I realized that you do have to give back. That is why I follow him. Do visit his website some time: Jesse Newhart, the first link above leads to his twitter.

Then there is Tallycast, he started following me and out of curiosity I followed him. He has a great site and he also tweets some very informative articles on his website. If you are in Tallahassee and you need know what is going on he has it all on his site. There are also podcasts and a wide range of other articles. How did I know that? Through twitter you access the person’s website, and there are so many informative sites out there that you could use. To visit his twitter Tallycast.

My former classmate Jerlyn also has twitter, she is a web designer and are excellent illustrator. She introduced me to some great tutorial sites and that is what I think got me hooked on reading all of those articles on Photoshop and CSS. Her twitter Jerlyn. She also tweets some awesome links too. Do visit her site.

So in my little but big world of Twitterdom, I am enjoying every bit of it. I am enjoying the vast fountain of knowledge, which is literally in every tweet. Plus I am making friends as I go along, tech friends that is :p . Its not all that bad, just fun and educational for me. Though there are some people who would always try to spoil that, by trying to make it the fast way. I hope it will grow into something even bigger.  So far I have to say my experience is great, and I hope many others will feel the same way too.
