I have joined the world of Twitter! So far it is all good. I am a bit confused about what exactly I do now. I have signed up to follow CBC BC News, Jian Ghomeshi and the Q Radio Show. I just learned that Jian Ghomeshi is at TIFF, just finished reading Douglas Coupland’s new book and spent September 12th in Gravenhurst, Ontario. I am not sure why I need to know these things. Also disappointing is that when I used the “search my email contacts” function not a single one of the contacts is registered as having a Twitter account. I am feeling a little alone in this new social media foray. Plus it seems sort of stalkerish for me to just be following the movements of famous people and it also feels a little sad that I have no one to follow me. Now I am going to have to figure out how to get my Twitter feed on this blog.<\/p>\n
