Why I Tweet

Twitter is a world phenomena. Having made the cover of Time magazine and every Tv network and entertainment outlet, business and blog in the world it is a very big thing. Not too shabby for 140 words per post!

I had used Twitter myself as a tool to update my Facebook through my blogs and my phone. Sort of marketing, sort of not, since many of my articles are personal experience I consider them to be 'status' updates.

I then was studying St. Francis' Admonition 21. It speaks in taking no pleasure or joy in anything but holy conversations, and the words and deeds of the LORD. I find that on Twitter I can connect with and converse with those of like mind in short instant message-like dialogue. I can reply to them, direct message them, and share with retweets. This is something I can do with only a few on Facebook. Twitter to me hones down the search for a spiritual community. Some bishops claim FB and Twitter dehumanize community. Maybe so but it has helped me.
