Twit whom? Photo what?

It’s called Social Networking
I know a lot of people don’t get it. They don’t get the Web. They don’t get the blogosphere. And most especially, they don’t get Twitter. Numerous people in my so-called “real” life have been led to believe that I lost the last bit of sanity I possessed because I dared to espouse the virtues and wonders of Twitter.
I gave up trying to explain about the power of the Internet, how to connect with people online, how screen names and pixels become part of ”real” life to those who think I’m crazy for living such a “connected” life. In all honesty, if it seems completely bizarre to you, there’s probably nothing I can say that will change your mind. If you can’t fathom how people can become friends, intertwine their lives, fall in love, grow businesses, extend their social circles through their online activity, it is highly unlikely that I can alter your way of thinking. You won’t think the crammed inboxes of my 15 email accounts, 20 domains, handful of blogs and participation in various social networks are cool things. You’ll likely be concerned and you’ll probably ask me why I can’t disconnect and encourage me to spend more time “in the real world”. Even in the rarified IT atmosphere in which I move during daylight hours my peers view me as one of “THOSE” people. You know who “THOSE” people are, right?
Ah, right. That would be me. Make no mistake: I am proud to be one of “THOSE” people.
