What Twitter Means to ME

I feel compelled to write this in thanks to the developers of twitter and all my twitter friends. First I would like to speak on a personal level. Personally I believe twitter has become the single most powerful social network on the web and will remain so. I for one have to be thankful for the way this network motivates me and brings a whole new world to my home office. You see I was a very successful, active business woman for many years, always on the go.


Life has a way of throwing you curves and some quite challenging! My challenge was being stricken with MS (multiple sclerosis) diagnosed in 1986 just as I was starting to peak in life. I was determined with Almighty God's help, my positive attitude, my wealth and all the other great things in my life I would laugh at MS straight on and beat it. After many years of overcoming this with occasional setbacks I paid it little mind until a couple years ago. I landed in a wheel chair and only go out of my house a couple times a year. Too weak.


This is not to make anyone feel sorry for me and I am still believing for a miracle. I have a lot to offer. I recently developed a new business that is going to be a great experience. I do everything online. Go to church online, play pinochle online at club pogo, with a regular partner. I use voice commands for a lot since I'm to weak to type for a long period of time. I can still use my voice so I do take on a client from time to time who needs a life coach. But then Twitter came. A whole new life!


I began slow with twitter and kinda tweaked to a peak and now caught the fever and infected others. I went on a follow binge and they slapped my follow button and I got so sad I cried. lol

I see so many future things that can be done with twitter connections the possibilities are endless.


But one of the important things I believe we should all remember is this is a FREE service and the people who own , created and keep it up and running for our pleasure are under no obligation. What I mean is they are not like God needing to continue this thing to sustain life. They could wake up tomorrow and decide to shut off the servers and take a much needed vacation. Good-bye twitter. Oh how lives would change! So we should be very grateful!


Now I am not stupid or under any delusions that they don't stand to benefit in a big way as well. The owners of twitter speculated, just like I did on commercial property just outside of Disney years ago. They stand to win bigger than I did. Bless them.


Well with all the headaches involved with serving 8 million accounts they deserve to benefit. I am very thankful for their service. The worms and psycho people behind them have challenged the staff of Twitter over a very busy holiday weekend . I'm confident they will work it out. Let's just remember to keep a right attitude when addressing these issues. RememberLBT (life before twiter) and oh happy day LAT.


There is awesome power in numbers and we are over 8 million strong. Just think of it! Together we can overcome almost anything and achieve gret things! Have a Twitterific Day!
