Balance Junkie on Twitter

Well, I finally capitulated on Twitter. I’ve never had anything against Twitter, or those who tweet. I just don’t get it.

But I had no idea how to start a website a few months ago either and I did that. So, with a friendly nudge from Tom at Canadian Finance Blog, I joined a few days ago. I’m taking the “try it” approach that I advocated for financial wellness in my Green Eggs and Ham post.

Yes, I’m what the marketing folks might call a very slow adopter. If you read Friday’s Book Review, I mentioned that I’m also a very slow reader. I’m a slow writer too. Come to think of it, I’m pretty slow at a lot of things. I’m not sure I like the intellectual connotations of the word slow, so I think I’m going to call myself deliberate instead.

I still don’t know what I’m doing, so if I accidentally violate some kind of Twitter etiquette over the next couple of weeks, please cut me a little slack. I assure you it’s purely accidental. Tom @CanadianFinance has mercifully put his hat in the ring as my first follower. If you care to join him, I’m @BalanceJunkie.

What do you think of Twitter? Do you have any good tips or advice for a Twitter newbie?
