We tweet therefore we are



I started with the Farland Group in Cambridge (www.farlandgroup.com)in October of last year and have been on this journey of recognizing just how important social media has become in our world. Twitter is newer to me and honestly I never truly understood the power of it until I took on this position. It truly is a way to share knowledge, stay connected, and to network in a way that is a lot, for lack of a better word, cleaner then Facebook. I am slowly getting my feet wet and learning what to tweet, and/or retweet. It is this magical land of people sharing links to great articles, new restaurants or there old favorites. It can be something as simple as a comment on the day, or a hello, to someone networking looking for a new job. Really there does not seem to be anything that you can not tweet about. I sometimes find the character length to be annoying, however it keeps those of us (ahem) that tend to ramble on a short leash, and teaches us to perhaps learn how to simplify the way we express a thought. I am finding it a tad intimidating, however I am tiptoeing around and peeping in on what my peers are talking about, and hope to catch on rather quickly. If you are a fellow tweeter look me up TFitz_76. Tweet you later :)
