Chris, you’re right. Twitter is an amazing tool. I’ve made a lot of connections there that I’m not sure I would have otherwise. I think probably that if Jim tried it, he would like it. Somewhat like green eggs and ham …
Facebook saved my life, well not really but it did get me rescued.
The internal mechanisms of my lounge door handle broke inside the door which meant my daughter and I were trapped in our lounge on the second floor and my 8 year old son was on the other side of the door with no adult to supervise him.
There was no phone in the room we were trapped in so I thought we were really in a pickle but then I realised I had my laptop. One facebook status update was all it took, within 15 minutes my landlord arrived with his toolkit and rescued us, apparently 8 people had phoned to tell him of our plight.
If I had used twitter I’m sure he’d have been there within 5 minutes.
