I have never tweeted…but, I believe it is especially good for people who cannot be everywhere. Say for instance, I could not make it to the AHDIs ACE out in Austin, Texas this past week, so I followed along with some of their live streaming and tweet comments on-line. I really should start tweeting, I suppose. It is helpful if you need to follow up-to-the-minute information or news for things out of the area.
I don’t tweet, but I was active on Facebook for a while. It was fun, but what a time waster! It was starting to seriously cut into my working hours, so I deactivated the account.
