Comments on: I Am Not Anti-Twitter http://www.churchtechy.com/2009/01/i-am-not-anti-twitter/ where Tech meets church Tue, 31 Jan 2012 17:17:56 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Barry Buchananhttp://www.churchtechy.com/2009/01/i-am-not-anti-twitter/comment-page-1/#comment-115 Barry Buchanan Fri, 23 Jan 2009 18:47:55 +0000 http://www.churchtechy.com/?p=177#comment-115 Stuart, I totally agree with your article. I too am not opposed to Twitter. Used correctly I think it could be awesome. However, the far majority of instances I have seen used it just seems like one more thing to keep people form doing their jobs. Between Twitter, blogs, facebook, classmates, myspace… et al. I wonder how much time is wasted during the day. Again, I can see used properly all of these things can be good but rarely are. Your arguement that “Twitter does not make you a good communicator” is spot on. A truly good commuincator can use any of the sites I mentioned above well, and a bad communicator cannot even write a good email. The best use I have seen is from of the web cartoonist that twitter about the process and prgress of the work they create. I’m sure there are many more godd examples of a good application of it out there as well. To be blunt I really don’t car ethat someone is watchting a video on youtube or that they had Sushi for lunch. I think our problem Stuart is we may be too old to appreciate Twitter? It seems all thise folks that use it are at least 5-10 years younger than me.BTW, love the new look of the site even though you did it a while back.BarryB Stuart, I totally agree with your article.
