Someone in my fraternity decided to set up a twitter account for our chapter in the hopes of keeping everyone better updated on what was going on.
So I signed up for twitter and started following.
Our chapter's twitter account was short lived, but I stuck with Twitter.
I wasn't sure what to expect from it, and I didn't even touch it over the whole summer. But once the summer was over I found myself getting sucked back in to Twitter.
I started following some of my friends, and I found some interesting people on twitter.
I think it all took off when I started following Felicia Day. She posted a Tweet that brought me here.
I really got into this blog. It really inspired me. And from reading that blog, I found more blogs I really like. Such as Zen Habits, one of my favorites.
So now I had been sucked into the world of blogging because of one little tweet. That's how I got inspired to start writing It's Just a Game. I'm sure you've heard of it.
Twitter also gives me lots of insider info because I follow a lot of game developers.
I can keep my German in shape with Twitter because I follow a lot of people from Germany.
And I've gotten some free stuff because of Twitter.
I got free lightsabers from my Xbox Avatar because Lucas Arts tweeted some codes. I got the Super Meat Boy soundtrack for free because one of the team members posted codes for free downloads.
So Twitter has done me good. It's helping me connect with others similar to me, it's opened me up to the wonderful world of blogging, and it's helping me get my blog out there. It's Just a Game, not this one. ;)
