Two months ago…
Veri-husband: I’ve just joined twitter.
Me: We’re all going to be glued to giant screens soon.
One month ago…
Veri-husband: (reading his twitter updates). Stephen Frye has touched down in California.
Me: Who cares what mundane things people do all day?
Two weeks ago:
Veri-husband: It’s amazing, Frye had only 600 followers when I joined, but now it’s in the thousands.
Me: Thousands of losers you mean. (Hums “In the Year 2525″)
Earlier this week:
internet forum I visit: Does anyone Twitter?
Me: No, I draw the line with mindless internet updates with facebook.
Today:
My first twitter update: Looking for people to follow.

i admit, i’m enjoying it! joined about a year ago, but never really got it. a few weeks back, tried it again and suddenly a whole different world.
it’s also good to get actual information – there are lots of updates out there on the news, etc.

I joined yesterday as well. There seems to be a cosmic tipping point and it just hit in. Anyway, I am pleased to know the mundane of your life.

Yeah, facebook hit it about six months ago. It’s amazing to see how fast twitter has taken off.
Free TV: Every $3000 we spend on our Amazon.com credit card scores us a $25 gift certificate to amazon.com. We put *everything* on our card (tried to put our mortgage and last year’s car purchase on it, but couldn’t), and save up the points. Three years ago we got a digital camera. After 2+ years we saved enough $25 gift certificates for a flat screen TV and a bracket system to hang it on. You get more rewards points per purchase if you buy FROM Amazon.com and now they have a triple rewards program, so we didn’t spend $75K exactly, but a bit less. You gotta pay it off every month for it to be ‘free’, but we’ve gotten so many things this way.
