Dear Twitter,
Who are you and where did you come from? Seriously! You became an overnight craze that I didn’t understand! After months of hearing about you all over, I finally Googled you today in hopes of figuring out exactly what you are. I found that to Twitter is to make high-pitched sounds, as of birds. I don’t think that is the twittering that everyone is talking about. Moving onto the next definition: Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that allows its users to send and read other users' updates.
Upon further investigation I found an article that was most helpful – All You Need to Know to Twitter. I learned that Oprah is to thank for all Twittering frenzy (that explained a lot). I also learned that a “Tweet” can only be 140 characters long. You can’t be serious! I now understand the “micro-blogging” definition. So blogging is for those of us who are long winded, while twittering is for those who aren’t?
I think I was meant to be a blogger.
Sincerely,
Katie

Haha you are funny. I think I will stick with blogging too!
He he he! I agree. I figured it was something Facebook-ish... should have Googled it! :) I think we're fine not keeping up with this latest trend... for now... :)
Yeah - my mom (of all people) was trying to explain it to me. I don't get it. Sounds kinda lame. But hey - I've come to the dark side and I blog now so I can't ask for much more. :P
