To Tweet or Not to Tweet?

As a new member in the land of twitter my initial reaction is "What is the point of this?" I'm told that this new form of social media is an innovative way of communicating in business. But I'm not convinced...yet. As I stare blankly at my twitter screen I have no idea where to start.
It feels like twitter is a sea of scattered thoughts, most of which seem of little or no interest to me. Perhaps this is because my own mind is already a sea of scattered thoughts. I don't feel like have enough room for any more. I like that I'm only forced to be an audience to one brain, that's more than enough for me. In a world where images and ideas are flashed at us at a neck- breaking pace, I'm overwhelmed at the thought of adding yet another form of social media to my repertoire. I'm afraid my brain might actually explode. I want to keep an open mind. I'm sure my grandparents thought the t.v. was a little overwhelming at first. But moving with the times seems a necessary part of life. Who knows, maybe I'll be won over by the twitter bug. I was a late adopter of the cell phone and swore I'd never text. Now I send and receive so many texts a day that I could easily be mistaken for a high school student. Well....time will tell.
