Dragged Kicking and Screaming

Well, I’m a twit now. It seems that twitter is taking over blog feeds and blog comments. So, I’m now @MJonMoney on twitter. I take pride in my ability to be clear and concise, but the 140-character limit is a challenge. Here’s hoping that this leads to more useful interaction with my readers.

Feel free to tell me what I’m doing wrong on twitter as I muddle through. My goal is to make my ideas conveniently accessible to people who want to read them without too much shameless self-promotion.

Have a great New Year’s Eve party. Saving tip: to spend less on pills tomorrow, drink less tonight.

  1. Good luck with twitting. Will you continue to blog? I like your concise human communication style with numbers and reasoning; I would miss it in 140 bites like this.

    1. @AnatoliN: The blog stays and will remain the primary place for my writing. Many people use Twitter as the primary way they find new blog posts and how they choose to comment on them. So, I decided to take the plunge. I don't have any specific plans for blog changes. Twitter is just augmenting my contact with readers.

  2. Sheesh, if you'd tipped us to your launch into Twitter a few days before it, we could have cleaned up on the TWTR stock spike that followed!

    Ah well, you're making us more money other ways so I guess it's ok.

    1. @BetCrooks: Projecting forward from the growth in my followers over the past 7 hours, I'll have a trillion followers by Jan. 10. So, there's still time to get in on the jump in TWTR.
