I don’t actually recall what led to my finally deciding it might be fun to try Twitter, and I’ve had a devil of a time trying to remind myself to update it periodically. Thankfully, I have the IM bot set up, and I’m doing much better at thinking, “Hey, this would probably be a good Twitter post.” (Somehow, I just can’t make myself call these posts “tweets”.)

A couple of weeks ago, I read some newbie guides to Twitter and realized I could actually have some fun with it. While I definitely drop random thoughts and complaints into my Twitter stream (Is that actually a word?), I’m also realizing I can use it for so much more.

I can leave a note to myself. I can take note of what I’ve done and what I’ve learned. I can share my current status on a project. I can let people know what class projects are coming up and if class has been canceled. I’ve even shared when I’ve posted a new article to eHow.

I’m thinking I can use it to show off what books I’ve just read, when I add jewelry to my Etsy shop or new designs to my CafePress shops. The possibilities are almost endless.
