Until I got her using it this week! But now I'm wondering if that was such a good idea. Short of direct messaging everyone, I can't hide -- the club now accepts women! So much for the cigars and brandy. I’ve gotten grief about using Twitter from my wife. Until I got her using it this week!

But now I’m wondering if that was such a good idea. Short of direct messaging everyone, I can’t hide — the club now accepts women! So much for the cigars and brandy.

Conceptually, it didn't make a lot of sense to me; yet rather than dismiss it, I thought I'd try it. Now I'm engaged. I find the required brevity empowering -- and sometimes challenging. A tweet allows thoughts and moments during the day to be marked. Plus, I'm starting to connect with people whom I know of through blogs or podcasts, as Twitter can provide a view into the human side of a name. It's too soon to say that it is building true community for me, but I'm hopeful. I’m a new convert to Twitter.
