Reflecting on My 2,000th Tweet
Yesterday saw the milestone of my 2,000th tweet. Going back to my first tweet in 2009, that's not really very many. Or so I say.
Some say tweeting is a waste of time. I tell people that sending a tweet is like sending an e-mail. When I do the math, I've sent 30,000+/- e-mails during the same time of sending 2,000 tweets.
Some say they don't see the value of knowing what someone ate for breakfast. I agree with that, but my light hearted 2,000th tweet about my Segway trip has more to it than meets the eye.
Does a typical Port Authority CEO get to glide on a Segway every day? What, then, does that say that distinquishes me from the stereotypical Port Authority CEO? Isn't there value in standing out among the hordes?
Get the point?
I can justify Twitter's time value.
