Macro-blogging about micro-blogging

As the Manager of Social Marketing for The Company that I work for, it's my job to set up and maintain Facebook and Twitter accounts for The Company's clients (among other things). It's a pretty sweet deal, except for one baby hiccup--I've never used Twitter. Oh, I joined of course when all the hoopla started, but I never did manage to write that first tweet, and I've been lambasting the service as pointless and self-indulgent ever since.

"But wait," say you, "You are an avid blogger and a fairly consistent Facebook user--140 characters wouldn't even begin to cover all of the shameless self-promoting you do!" "Right on," say I, and after setting up a couple of accounts on Twitter, I'm suddenly overwhelmed with a desire to express my own opinions with "r u"s and "want 2"s. So I've decided to just go ahead and tweet already, and ho boy, it's amazing how much nicer hypocrisy feels after you've owned up to it in front of God and the Internet!
