A caveat. This is not a cop related post. Rather, I'm wondering how to best infuse a new characteristic to my little experiment. If you'll notice, along the right side of the blog is a Twitter widget. (Man, I cringe at all this 21st century lingo...You kids get off my lawn!!!!) I'm enough of a facebook whore these days, all I need is another fucking techno-crutch.
At any rate, as I've stated a time or two before, sometimes things in this job just aren't that interesting. Shocking, I know, but it's true. Not every stop I conduct is blog-worthy. By in large, they are all fairly dull. (Note I didn't use "routine"). So, I'm thinking about using Twitter as a more, albeit brief, update of what I happen to be doing at any given moment. The other option is to use it as a more personal and not necessarily work related outlet. You know, let you behind the curtain a little to see the Great and Powerful OZ.
Let me know what your opinions are.
I use my twitter as an extension of the Happy Medic, but there's rarely anything new there...OR IS THERE?
ReplyDeleteI say try both and see who follows.

you can do mobile updates on twitter can't you? could be interesting
ReplyDeleteI haven't gotten too much into Twitter yet, but I'm enough of an emergency junkie working in this job that I know I would pull up both!
ReplyDeleteFlatfoot...
ReplyDeleteYou can indeed, as you can with Facebook. I am currently trying desperately to resist the urge to drop that kind of dough, however.
I'm jonesing for an iPhone, but if I get one, so does the Wife. The easy equation here is my desire + Wife + 2 iPhones = more $$$ than I can afford right now. ARGH.
WTF is Twitter?
ReplyDeleteBummer about the red ring of death. That sucks.
Berserk...
ReplyDeleteTwitter is like a pared down version of facebook. All you have is constant status updates.
You know, when I read that, it just makes me sad that I know that.
Hi Motorcop,
ReplyDeleteI vote against using twitter. It would weaken your real blog. I would rather have your meaty and pungent blog containing bad words once a week than a few sentences here and there all the time.
Ever hear of Joe Wambaugh? He wouldn't have used twitter...
I'm neither here nor there on the subject. I've just become a fan of facebook, so I'm into that as well as about 4 great blogs (your's being one of them) - I don't think I would use twitter, because I love coming home in the evening to all my blog catchups. But if it works for you - by all means! Iphones are cheap now aren't they? Like $200 apiece?
