Association Twitter

Twitter is a hot topic on the ASAE Listservs. Everyone is trying to figure out how to use it. So far, it seems pretty lame if it isn't tied to a real time event.

That may change.

I regularly ask my 20-year-old son about social media. His group has yet to embrace Twitter. They are still Facebook, all the time. The Facebook chat function is powerful and familiar. In a few years, they will all have 3G phones and Twitter may be the portal for updating their blogs, Facebook, etc.

Always the explorer, I've put a Twitter feed on this blog. It simultaneously updates my Facebook status.

Guess what? Now I need 2 Twitter accounts (as if I need 1). Apparently, lots of other people need more than one Twitter account. Here's a great article on the Twitterrati blog about tools to deal with this problem. By tomorrow, I'll be a SplitTweet user.
