What’s with Twitter

My granddaughter Jennifer is 23 years old. The other day she came over to visit and found me at the computer. She had heard from Jacob, her brother-in-law, my new grandson-in-law that I had started a blog. She felt I needed to twitter. I told her to go wash her mouth out with soap. She then proceeds to tell me exactly what twitter is….apparently it is not a four-letter word.

It goes like this. I go to the kitchen to make some matzo pizza, but before I do I log onto my twitter account and I write the following. “Bernie is in the kitchen making matzo pizza.” It’s like writing a one-sentence letter to everyone you know at once. According to Jennifer people have to sign up to receive these “letters.” She says if I want to have “a successful online presence” I HAVE TO TWITTER. I am not sold on this twitter just yet but I go along with it anyway to make her happy. Why would anyone want to sign up to constantly receive updates on my doings is beyond this old dog.
